Frequently Asked Questions About Mead Tap Water
Mead's water has 2 contaminants above EPA MCLGs. We recommend using a certified water filter for additional protection, especially for vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. EPA records 3 health-based violations for BRYAN CO. RWS & SWMD #2 that began after its latest compliance result on file (Jul 2022): Monthly Turbidity Exceed (Enhanced SWTR) (Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on January 1, 2026; Single Turbidity Exceed (Enhanced SWTR) (Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on January 1, 2024; Treatment Technique (SWTR and GWR) (Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on January 1, 2024. Every such result predates them; its later EPA UCMR 5 results (Dec 2025) screen for unregulated contaminants and cannot show the water met this standard, so this page does not call the water safe.
