Needed Health Information from ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 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 potential health effects can be acquired by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer 1-800-426-4791. 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 perhaps radioactive material, and may pick up substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human activity. Pollutants that may be present in resource water before treatment include: Microbial pollutants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may originate from: sewage treatment plant life, septic systems, farming livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic pollutants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally-occurring or result from city stormwater runoff; industrial or household wastewater discharges; gas and oil production; mining or perhaps farming. Pesticides and weed killers, which may come from some sources such as farming and residential uses. Radioactive contaminants, they are naturally occurring. 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. To make sure that tap water is safe to imbibe, EPA prescribes rules which limit the number of certain contaminants in water provided by general public water systems. Drinking water District #111 screens and treats all its water relating to EPA rules. Food and Drug Administration regulations set up limits for pollutants in bottled water that have to provide the same safety for public health. If present, elevated amounts of lead can cause severe health problems, especially for women that are pregnant and young children. Business lead in drinking water is usually primarily from components and components connected with service lines and home plumbing. Drinking water District 111 is in charge of providing high-quality water, but cannot control the variety of materials utilized in plumbing components. In case your water has been sitting down for several hours, you can minimize the potential for business lead exposure by flushing your tap intended for 30 seconds to two minutes before applying water for consuming or cooking. In case you are concerned about lead within your water, you may want your water analyzed. Information on lead in drinking water, testing strategies, and steps you can take to reduce exposure are available from your Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. The information on the subsequent page lists all the drinking water contaminants that people detected during the season of this report. The existence of contaminants in the drinking water does not necessarily show that the water positions a health risk. Unless otherwise mentioned, the data presented with this table is coming from testing done in the calendar year of the statement. The EPA or maybe the state requires us to monitor for several contaminants less than when per year because the concentrations of these contaminants usually do not change frequently. Monitoring.
