WHAT IS WATER QUALITY?

Although your drinking water may look and taste good, it may contain harmful contaminants. While some levels are considered safe, others may be capable of causing a wide array of health issues. For this reason, it is important to know the amount and types of impurities that are in your drinking water. Water quality is determined by the amount of contaminants in your drinking water. If your levels are within an acceptable range, the water is considered safe to drink. If your levels are not within an acceptable range, you should not drink the water.

WHERE DOES YOUR DRINKING WATER COME FROM?

About half of our drinking water supply comes from surface water such as streams, rivers and lakes. The other half comes from water found underground. Using both surface water and groundwater, 140,000 water utilities supply water to 320 million people in the United States. More than one-third of Americans receive their drinking water from wells.
