JBLM Lewis (WA) Water Quality

JBLM Lewis is a large public water system in EPA region 10 that provides tap water for the 98433 zip codes. It has 13 facilities where the water supply was tested for 75 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 0.452 µg/L. The maximum reported level of alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane was 0.015 µg/L. Some (1 of 14 or 7%) 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 1.378 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 105 µg/L. There were 4 contamintants found in the JBLM Lewis 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.
