Bedford County Utility District (TN) Water Quality

Bedford County Utility District is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 37160, 37360 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-propen-1-ol (Allyl Alcohol) was 0.97 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 83.95 µg/L. Some (1 of 16 or 6%) 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 1.5 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the Bedford County Utility 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.
