Lincoln Co. Board of Pub. Util. #1 (TN) Water Quality

Lincoln Co. Board of Pub. Util. #1 is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 37144, 37334, 37335, 38488 zip codes. It has 13 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 64.7 µg/L. Some (1 of 12 or 8%) 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 1.7 µg/L. There were 2 contamintants found in the Lincoln Co. Board of Pub. Util. #1 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.
