City of Barberton is a large public water system in EPA region 5 that provides tap water for the 44203 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 6.2 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 75.38 µg/L. Some (2 of 16 or 13%) of the latest water samples showed levels of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 14.7 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the City of Barberton water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
