Hello, friends and neighbors in Bridgeport —
At Chenevert’s Home Services, we care deeply about your family’s water. You deserve to drink, cook, and bathe using water that’s safe, clean, and free from anything harmful. That’s why we’ve reviewed the latest public water quality reports for your area, and we want to share what it shows — plus how we can help if you’re concerned or seeing issues.
What the Public Records Say
According to the official Bridgeport Annual Drinking Water Quality Report (https://cityofbridgeport.net/DocumentCenter/View/5626/Bridgeport-2024CCR-), here are some of the findings:
| Contaminant / Parameter | Highest Level Detected | Regulatory Limit or Goal | Status / Notes |
| Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) | ~74 ppb | MCL = 80 ppb | Within limit, close to threshold |
| Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) | ~26 ppb | MCL = 60 ppb | Well within limit |
| Arsenic | ~1.1 ppb | MCL = 10 ppb | Far below concern level |
| Barium | ~0.08 ppm | MCL = 2 ppm | Safe margin |
| Chromium | ~1.2 ppb | MCL = 100 ppb | Very low |
| Fluoride | ~0.2 ppm | MCL = 4 ppm | Safe |
| Nitrate | ~0.28 ppm | MCL = 10 ppm | Very low |
| Chloramines | ~2.4 ppm | MRDL = 4 ppm | Within requirement |
What That Means for Your Home
Even when a water system is technically compliant, there can be local or home‑level issues:
– Older plumbing or lead pipes can introduce risk even if the supply source is clean.
– Disinfectants (like chloramines) can leave residuals that affect taste, odor, or skin.
– Unregulated contaminants (PFAS, etc.) may not be highly controlled yet, but some testing shows they are present.
What We’ve Seen Locally
Many Bridgeport homes we visit have older galvanized pipes. Even if the water report looks good, these pipes can add metals into drinking water. We’ve replaced several this year to improve safety and taste.
We’ve Been Solving Issues Like This for Years
At Chenevert’s Home Services, we’ve worked with many homeowners in this area to:
– Test water in homes & pinpoint contaminants that matter.
– Install filtration, softening, or treatment systems tailored to the problem.
– Clean, maintain, or replace plumbing where needed.
