The Water We Drink

Adams County Water Association, Inc.

System ID No. 0010015 and 0010009

May 05, 2026

The 2025 annual report confirms that your water quality is excellent. This is evidenced by the highest rating of A+ from the Mississippi Department of Health again this year.

You are valued as a customer and we like to keep you informed about your water utility. The regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors are held on the second Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m. at the office at 700 Highway 61 North. If you have questions, please contact Kenneth Herring at 601-446-6616. You may also visit our website at adamscountywater.com.

Your water comes from underground wells, drawn from the Lower Catahoula Aquifer. Adams County Water Association routinely monitors for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2025.

As water travels over the land or underground, it can pick up substances or contaminants such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791.

In this table you may find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms we’ve provided the following definitions:

Non-Detects (ND) – laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.

Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) – one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.

Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter – one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.

Million fibers per liter (mfl) - Million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.

Action Level – the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Treatment Technique (TT) – A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Maximum Contaminant Level – The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal – The “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.

There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary to control microbial contaminants.

Minimum Reporting Level – The value and unit of measure at or above which the concentration of the contaminant must be measured using the approved analytical methods.

In addition to the above contaminants, we tested for 20 additional Volatile Organic Contaminates and 11 additional Inorganic Contaminants for which the state and EPA have set standards. We found no detectable levels of those chemicals.
