City of Odessa (TX) Water Quality

City of Odessa is a large public water system in EPA region 6 that provides tap water for the 79707, 79761 - 79766 zip codes. It has 4 facilities where the water supply was tested for 85 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of cylindrospermopsin was 0.11 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 82.12 µg/L. Some (2 of 32 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 12.3 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the City of Odessa 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.
