West Slope Water District (OR) Water Quality

West Slope Water District is a large public water system in EPA region 10 that provides tap water for the 97005 zip codes. It has 6 facilities where the water supply was tested for 68 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 36.1 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 10 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.03 µg/L. Some (1 of 4 or 25%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the West Slope Water District 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.
