If you would like more info on the SWA statement, please call water Utility Director: Wealthy Weirich Drinking water, which includes bottled water, maybe fairly expected to contain in the least small amounts of some contaminants. The existence of these contaminants will not necessarily pose a health risk. The sources of both faucet and bottled taking in waters include streams, lakes, streams, fish ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As drinking water travels over the surface area of land throughout the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive components, and can pick up chemicals resulting in pets and human activity.
