City of Waxahachie (TX) Water Quality

City of Waxahachie is a large public water system in EPA region 6 that provides tap water for the 75165 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 alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.015 µg/L. Some (1 of 8 or 13%) of the latest water samples showed levels of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 97.86 µg/L. Some (4 of 16 or 25%) 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 11 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the City of Waxahachie water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 2 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
