| Industrial
pollutants and "run-off" from farm fields
can easily contaminate our water supply. Most public
municipalities test water frequently for more than
90 water contaminants, and you can easily obtain
a "Consumer Confidence Report" with those
results from you water utility.
However,
anyone who gets drinking or bathing water from
a private well should test their water regularly.
If
you suspect that your water could be contaminated
on route to your house by lead pipes or something
else, you should also have your water tested.
If
you find anything of concern, you can take simple
steps to clean up your water. For more information,
look for water articles in our Resource
Room.
