The ZIP codes associated with Coweta Pwa have a median household income of $83,824 and about 59,423 residents live in those ZIP codes (Census; not the number of people this system supplies).

Environmental Justice Note: On average, 100% of census tracts in the counties mapped to this service area are designated disadvantaged by the federal Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST, 2022 version). Communities with higher disadvantaged populations often face disproportionate environmental and health burdens, including aging water infrastructure and limited resources for remediation.

๐ŸŒŠ Where Does Your Water Come From?

Surface Water

Coweta Pwa's water is drawn from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs. Surface water sources are more exposed to agricultural runoff, stormwater, and upstream discharges, but they typically receive more intensive treatment before reaching your tap.

PFAS in ZIP Codes This System Serves

PFAS ("forever chemicals") have been reported in samples from water systems associated with the ZIP codes in this system's area. These results can come from other water systems serving the same ZIP codes; check the UCMR5 section for any results reported for this system. 12 detections recorded. 4 detections are above the level of a federal PFAS MCL (4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS), with compliance required from 2029.

Health concern: Exposure to certain PFAS has been associated with some cancers and with immune and developmental effects; effects differ by compound. Many PFAS break down very slowly in the environment.
Recommended filter: An activated carbon filter certified under NSF/ANSI 53 or a reverse osmosis system certified under NSF/ANSI 58 for the PFAS listed in its certification. Find the right filter โ†’

Health Risk Details

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) (EPA limit: 0.06 mg/L)

Increased risk of cancer

Treatment options (verify a product is certified to reduce this contaminant): granular activated carbon (GAC), carbon block filter, reverse osmosis. Find the right filter โ†’

Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) (EPA limit: 0.08 mg/L)

Long-term exposure is associated with increased cancer risk, including bladder cancer; possible reproductive effects At-risk groups: pregnant women, long-term consumers of chlorinated water.

Treatment options (verify a product is certified to reduce this contaminant): granular activated carbon (GAC), carbon block filter, point-of-entry aeration. Find the right filter โ†’

E. coli (EPA limit: MCLG of zero; positive samples require repeat testing under the Revised Total Coliform Rule)

Some E. coli strains can cause severe GI illness and kidney failure, especially in children At-risk groups: children under 5, elderly, immunocompromised individuals, pregnant women.

Treatment options (verify a product is certified to reduce this contaminant): UV disinfection, chlorination, reverse osmosis. Find the right filter โ†’

Lead & Copper

EPA Lead and Copper Rule evidence attributed directly to this water system:

Lead Level Exceeds Action Level Sample Date
Below the reporting limit No 2022-12-31

No copper action-level exceedance record appears for this PWSID in the accepted LCR snapshot. This does not establish a clean copper measurement.

Radon Risk in Service Area

2 of 2 ZIP records with known zones are in EPA Radon Zone 3.

The EPA recommends testing all homes regardless of radon zone. County radon zones cannot replace an in-home radon test.

Federal UCMR5 PFAS Monitoring: Detected

This water system was tested under the federal EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR5). PFAS compounds were detected; the table compares each one with the EPA MCL where one exists (April 2024 rule, compliance required from 2029) and with this state's enforceable standard where one exists.

PFHxA 4.2 ppt No federal MCL โ€”
PFPeA 3.3 ppt No federal MCL โ€”

EPA's April 2024 PFAS rule sets MCLs of 4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS and 10 ppt for PFHxS, PFNA and HFPO-DA (GenX); water systems must comply from 2029. Other PFAS compounds have no individual federal MCL. A state standard is shown only where this system's state has its own enforceable PFAS limit. Detection results are EPA UCMR5 samples, not a measurement at your tap.

How Water Systems Appear in Rankings

Water systems are evaluated by violation history, contaminant detections, and service population. Larger systems with more service connections appear in more rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a water filter? ▼
Given 75 recorded violations, review the violation types and dates; a filter certified for a specific contaminant of concern can reduce that contaminant at the tap. Monitoring or reporting violations are not something a filter addresses.
How many people does Coweta Pwa serve? ▼
Coweta Pwa serves approximately 9,450 people with drinking water across 2 ZIP codes.
What is Coweta Pwa's water source? ▼
Coweta Pwa draws water from surface water sources. Source type affects which contaminants are most likely to be present.
Is there lead in Coweta Pwa's water? ▼
The reported 90th-percentile lead result is below the laboratory reporting limit, not a measured zero; EPA's health goal for lead is zero. This is at or below the EPA lead action level, which triggers system action and is not a safe level; the EPA health goal for lead is zero.
What is the demographic profile of the ZIP codes associated with Coweta Pwa? ▼
The ZIP codes mapped to Coweta Pwa have a median household income of $83,824 (Census ZIP-code estimate). In CEJST data, 100% of census tracts in the counties mapped to this area are designated disadvantaged (average across mapped ZIP codes), which may indicate greater vulnerability to environmental health risks.
Where does Coweta Pwa get its water? ▼
Coweta Pwa's water is drawn from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs. Surface water sources are more exposed to agricultural runoff, stormwater, and upstream discharges, but they typically receive more intensive treatment before reaching your tap. The available violation history and environmental indicators place this system in the elevated review category; they do not measure current source contamination.
