This statement describes the susceptibility and types of constituents that may touch the drinking water resource based on human actions and natural circumstances. The system from which all of us purchase our drinking water received the evaluation report.

EPA prescribes rules limiting the number of particular contaminants in drinking water provided by public drinking water systems. U. H. Food and Drug Administration regulations set up limits for pollutants in bottled water, which usually must provide the same protection for public well-being. Drinking water, including water in bottles, may reasonably be anticipated to contain in the least small amounts of some contaminants. The existence of these contaminants will not necessarily indicate the water poses a health risk. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include streams, lakes, streams, fish ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As drinking water travels over the surface area of the land or perhaps through the ground, it may acquire naturally occurring nutrients, in some cases, radioactive materials; and substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human activity. Chemicals that may be present in resource water include: Microbes Contaminants, such as infections and bacteria, which might come from sewage treatment plants, septic devices, agricultural livestock procedures, or wildlife; Inorganic Contaminants, such as debris and metals, which may be naturally occurring or can result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or perhaps domestic wastewater secretions, oil and gas production, exploration, or farming; & nitrogen-laden Herbicides, which may originate from a variety of sources including agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and home uses; Organic Chemical substance Contaminants, including artificial and volatile organic and natural chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and which may also originate from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and solid waste systems; Radioactive Pollutants, which can be naturally occurring or perhaps may be the result of gas and oil production and exploration activities. Contaminants might be found in drinking water which may cause taste, color, or odor complications. These types of problems are certainly not causes for health issues. For more information on flavor, odor, or color of drinking water, please get in touch with the City of Wylie in (972)442-7588.
