The causes of drinking water (both plain tap water and bottled water) include rivers, ponds, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and water wells. As water moves over the surface from the land or throughout the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials, and can pick up chemicals resulting from the presence of pets or liveliness. Drinking water, including water in bottles, may reasonably be anticipated to contain in the least small amounts of some contaminants. The existence of contaminants does not always indicate that drinking water poses a wellness risk. More information regarding contaminants and probable health effects can be acquired by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer at (800) 426-4791. Contaminants that may be within source water consist of: - Microbial pollutants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may originate from sewage treatment vegetation, septic systems, farming livestock operations, and wildlife. - Inorganic contaminants, such as debris and metals, which may be naturally-occurring or derive from urban storm drinking water runoff, industrial or perhaps domestic wastewater secretions, oil and gas production, exploration, or farming. -- Pesticides and herbicides, which might come from a variety of resources such as agriculture, city stormwater runoff, and residential uses. - Organic chemical substance contaminants, including artificial and volatile organic and natural chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and may also come from gasoline stations, urban storm drinking water runoff, and solid waste systems. - Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the consequence of oil and gas production and mining activities. To be able to ensure that tap water is secure to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the number of certain pollutants in water given by public water devices. FDA regulations set up limits for pollutants in bottled water which usually must provide the same protections for public well-being. Contaminants may be present in drinking water that may trigger taste, color, or perhaps odor problems. These kinds of problems are not necessarily triggered for health concerns. To find out more about the taste, smell, or color of water, please contact the system's business office.
