City of Edmond - Arcadia Lake

All sources of moving water are subject to probable contamination by matters that are naturally occurring or perhaps man-made. Those matters may be microbes, organic and natural or inorganic chemical compounds, or radioactive products. All drinking water, which includes bottled water, may realistically be expected to include some small amount of impurities. The presence of contaminants would not necessarily indicate which the water poses a health risk. MCL’s are set by very stringent amounts. For example, you would need to drink two l of water daily for a lifetime at the optimum contaminant level to experience a one-in-a-million chance of a related health result. You can obtain more details about contaminants and potential health results by calling environmentally friendly Protection Agency (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline. Particular Note Some people can be more vulnerable to pollution in drinking water compared to the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as people with cancer in the process of chemotherapy, persons diagnosed with undergone organ transplants, persons with HIV/AIDS or other immunity process disorders, some aged, and infants may be particularly at risk to get infections. These people should certainly seek advice regarding drinking water from their physicians. EPA/CDC guidelines about appropriate means to decrease the risk of infection by simply cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available by simply calling the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Safe Drinking Water Hotline..
