Crockett County, TN
drinking water quality
13,973 residents · 6 public water systems · 5 ZIP codes
EPA sampled 1 of 6 public water systems here, together serving about 8,528 people. EPA detected PFHpA at 4.4 ng/L. EPA has not set a drinking water limit for PFHpA, so there is no figure to compare it against. Last sampled 7/15/2024.
What this means
PFAS are industrial chemicals that EPA describes as breaking down only very slowly in the environment. In April 2024 EPA set the first enforceable national limits: 4 ng/L for PFOA and PFOS, 10 ng/L for PFHxS, PFNA and GenX.
These figures are county-level and come from EPA’s sampling of public water systems. They describe the worst result found in the county, not what comes out of any particular tap — that depends on which system serves the address, and on the plumbing in the building. A private well is not covered by this programme at all.
