Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)

6 incidents

Haloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit

Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk

Where the water comes from

El Pinon Estates Water System draws water from 1 well.

Annual water quality report

El Pinon Estates Water System must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.

Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask El Pinon Estates Water System for a copy.

Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search

Testing your own water

To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Texas.
