Harrison County, TX
drinking water quality
71,370 residents · 34 public water systems · 11 ZIP codes
EPA sampled 5 of 34 public water systems here, together serving about 46,757 people. EPA detected PFPeA at 164 ng/L. EPA has not set a drinking water limit for PFPeA, so there is no figure to compare it against. Last sampled 8/8/2023.
Health-based violations
Separately from PFAS, EPA records 65 health-based violations across 19 of the county’s water systems since 2020, the most recent in 2026. They involved contaminant 0300, E. coli, trihalomethanes, lead and copper.
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.
