The sources of water (both tap water and bottled water) consist of rivers, lakes, channels, ponds, reservoirs, suspension springs, and wells. Because the water travels within the surface of the property or through the floor, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some instances, radioactive material, and may pick up substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human activity. Water, including bottled water, might reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of several contaminants. The presence of pollutants does not necessarily show that water positions a health associated risk. More information about pollutants and potential wellness effects can be obtained simply by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline in (800) 426-4791. Pollutants that may be present in resource water include - Microbial contaminants, including viruses and bacterias, which may come from sewerage treatment plants, solid waste systems, agricultural animal operations, and animals. 06/11/2018 - TX0430048_2017_2018-06-11_16-01-27.
