Quick Reference to Drinking Water Contaminants
Source: CDC and EPA
Drinking water comes from a variety of sources including public water
systems, private wells, or bottled water. Ensuring safe and healthy
drinking water may be as simple as turning on the tap from an
EPA-regulated public water system. Other water sources may need a water
filter, a check on water fluoridation, or an inspection to ensure a
septic tank is not too close to a private well. It is important to know
where drinking water comes from, how it’s been treated, and if it’s
safe to drink: http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/
