How Paulding Village Public Water System compares to EPA limits

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) 1 mg/L (EXCEEDS LIMIT)
0 EPA Limit: 0.06 mg/L
Cancer risk; reproductive & developmental effects
Chlorite 1 mg/L (100% of limit)
0 EPA Limit: 1 mg/L
Anemia and nervous system effects in infants and children

What This Means For You

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) at 1 mg/L exceeds the EPA maximum of 0.06 mg/L. Cancer risk; reproductive & developmental effects. Consider granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration.

Lead and Copper Rule at 1 mg/L exceeds the EPA maximum of mg/L.

E. coli at 1 Zero tolerance (any positive sample triggers immediate action) exceeds the EPA maximum of Zero tolerance (any positive sample triggers immediate action). Severe GI illness; potentially fatal kidney failure in children. Consider UV disinfection (99.99%) filtration.

Fecal Coliform at 1 presence exceeds the EPA maximum of presence.

PFAS Detected in Service Area
