Water Quality in the Home
Your water can look clear and taste fine, but it may still contain harmful substances we cannot see, smell, or taste. Those are the main categories of potential contaminants:
Germs
Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms can cause stomach illness
Protect Vulnerable Groups:
Regular testing helps ensure our water is safe for everyone—especially babies, children, and older adults, who can be more sensitive to water quality issues.
Chemicals
Like lead or pesticides that may come from factories, farms, or old pipes, can cause health problems if people drink them for a long time.
