Water Testing in Bay Minette, AL
North Baldwin Utilities is the public system here, and the EWG Tap Water Database lists 7 contaminants above its health guidelines. For Bay Minette, the ones worth naming are Chromium (hexavalent) at 0.213 ppb against an EWG guideline of 0.02 ppb; Haloacetic acids (HAA9) at 2.51 ppb against an EWG guideline of 0.06 ppb; Nitrate at 0.492 ppm against an EWG guideline of 0.14 ppm. Those are exceedances of EWG's health guidelines, which are stricter than the federal legal limits — and worth treating at the tap. Our free in-home screen reads hardness, chlorine, and total dissolved solids on the spot; for compounds like these, the utility's annual report or an independent state-certified lab is the confirming source.
Across Baldwin County, USGS sampling of 47 groundwater sites finds 76% of sampled sites exceed the secondary standard for iron, median hardness runs about 1.2 grains per gallon, median pH sits at 6.88. That is county-wide data, not a reading from any one property — a well on your lot can differ from the one next door.
Bay Minette sits about 16.6 miles from our base in Spanish Fort.
