CITY OF JACKSON-MADDOX RD.
PWSID MS0250012 · MS · serves 28,098 people · service area inferred by a model, not supplied by the state
PFAS and lithium
Sampled, nothing detected. Tested for 30 compounds under UCMR 5 with none found at or above its reporting limit. A reporting limit is the lowest concentration the method can measure, so this means “below that” rather than “zero”.
Health-based violations
3 open health-based violation(s) recorded in SDWIS and not yet returned to compliance.
- MCL · contaminant code 2950 · began 2024-01-01

Hardness
No hardness measurement. Hardness is measured at environmental monitoring stations, and none fell inside this system’s service area. That is a gap in where monitoring happens, not a finding about the water.
SOUTH CENTRAL WATER ASSN
PWSID MS0250022 · MS · serves 12,218 people
PFAS and lithium
1 compound detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 3 samples.
| Compound | Highest detected | Samples | Most recent |
|---|---|---|---|
| lithium | 15 µg/L | 3 | 8/21/2024 |
A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.
Health-based violations
1 open health-based violation(s) recorded in SDWIS and not yet returned to compliance.
- MCL · contaminant code 2950 · began 2016-07-01
Hardness
Median hardness 23 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 4 stations serving this system across 16 results, 2017-10-02 to 2018-08-03. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.
What this report cannot tell you
Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
