Frequently asked questions about Haskell tap water
Is Haskell tap water safe to drink?
EPA testing detected 16 contaminants in the water serving Haskell. A detection isn't the same as a violation — most detected levels are within federal limits. Check the level and source for each contaminant above, and your utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report for the official compliance status.
How many water suppliers serve Haskell?
2 public water suppliers report drinking-water monitoring for Haskell, Texas to the EPA. Each is listed above with its population served.
What contaminants are in Haskell's water?
The contaminants EPA monitoring detected in Haskell include TTHM, Copper, Dibromochloromethane, Bromoform, Bromodichloromethane. The full list, with the highest level found and the data source, is in the table above.
Where does this data come from?
Every figure is official EPA drinking-water monitoring — the Lead & Copper Rule, the UCMR-5 nationwide testing program, and the EPA Six-Year Review — not our own testing. Each number is labelled with its source and period.
