The maximum reported level of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.011 µg/L. Some (1 of 2 or 50%) 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 15.05 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 4.1 µg/L. There were 3 contamintants found in the El Paso County WCID #4 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.
