Water companies that supply Jacksonville

The highest latest result among Jacksonville's water companies is 4 parts per billion, at Lauradale S/D. None of the 9 with results was above 15 at its latest test. 7 found too little lead to measure. Small ones like Southgate MHP supply just their own grounds or street; most of Jacksonville gets its water from the Onslow Water and Sewer Authority. 5 are small systems serving fewer than 500 people each, such as a mobile home park, a subdivision or a business with its own well. Your water bill names yours.
