Rainbow Water District (OR) Water Quality

Rainbow Water District is a small public water system in EPA region 10 that provides tap water for the 97477 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 50 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 0.78 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 1.2 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.031 µg/L. Some (1 of 8 or 13%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the Rainbow 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.
