King County Water District #20

The EPA sets water quality standards and establishes testing strategies and monitoring requirements for water resources. The EPA units maximum levels intended for water contaminants and utilities to give general public notice whenever an infringement occurs. The pollutants that might be expected to result from water include natural contaminants such as computer virus and bacteria, inorganic contaminants such as debris and minerals, organic and natural contaminants such as by-products of the water disinfection process, pesticides and weed killers, and radioactive pollutants from natural or perhaps man-made deposits. The drinking water was supervised 365 days a year and was tested for more than 100 compounds. The tests are done after and before treatment and while the water is in the circulation system. The furniture on the adjacent web page shows the detected pollutants and compares these to the limits and desired goals set by the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and Washington Condition Department of Wellness to ensure your plain tap water is safe. Please note that your water comes safely within federal and state guidelines for each contaminant, significantly under the EPA’s levels..
