Public System Data Is for the Community, Not Your Home
The EPA’s data on 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) for the Hwy. 63 Water Association public water system serving Cleveland County shows no detections above the reporting level during their 2013-2015 monitoring period. This evidence covers the entire system’s groundwater supply and is not specific to any one household. It cannot confirm or deny the presence of 1,2,3-TCP in your own water without direct testing.
Household Symptoms Alone Don’t Confirm 1,2,3-TCP Issues
Common signs like unusual taste, staining, or mechanical failure of water equipment have many possible causes. Because 1,2,3-TCP is a volatile organic compound without obvious sensory indicators at low levels, equipment malfunction or water changes do not definitively indicate this chemical’s presence.
Comparing Cleveland County to Nearby Counties Requires Care
Nearby areas may show different levels or detection frequencies of 1,2,3-TCP based on local sources and groundwater conditions. Cleveland County’s recorded zero detections during UCMR3 monitoring mean its system does not have documented measurable 1,2,3-TCP from that survey period. Avoid assuming your water mirrors neighboring counties’ results or that their data reflects your location.
How 1,2,3-TCP Can Enter Groundwater Locally
In regions with agricultural or industrial activities, 1,2,3-TCP can leach into groundwater from historical pesticide use or chemical spills. The Hwy. 63 Water Association’s supply draws from groundwater protected by natural and regulatory buffers, which may explain the non-detections found during the monitoring period.
Ruling Out Issues: From Simple to Specific Checks
- Start by examining your water equipment for typical causes of failure or water quality change unrelated to chemical contaminants.
- Conduct a comprehensive water test from a certified laboratory that includes 1,2,3-TCP analysis to establish your household’s actual water quality.
- Ensure sample collection follows proper procedures to avoid contamination or inaccurate results.
Preparing to Seek Treatment Advice: Key Information to Record
- Your water source type (public supply, private well, etc.)
- Dates and details of any recent water quality changes or equipment failures
- Results from any water quality tests performed, including constituent levels and lab details
- Your household water usage and specific concerns about taste, odor, or equipment
With these details, a targeted filtration solution like the Fleck 1,2,3-TCP Filter, which ships ready to configure, can be evaluated as an option tailored to your household’s verified water quality profile.
