The following tables demonstrate the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2018. (Some of our info may be more than one yr old because the state permits us to monitor for some pollutants less often than once per year. ) Drinking water, including water in bottles, may reasonably be anticipated to contain in the least small amounts of some contaminants. Because the water travels within the surface of the get or through the floor, it dissolves natural minerals and, in some instances, radioactive material, and may pick up substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human activity. The existence of contaminants does not always indicate that drinking water poses a wellness risk. To make sure that tap water is safe to imbibe, EPA prescribes rules which limit the number of certain contaminants found in water provided by general public water systems. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION regulations establish limitations for contaminants in bottled water which need to provide the same safety for public health.
