City of Antioch

The sources of municipal water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land surfaces or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some instances, radioactive materials, and can pick up substances from animal presence or human activities.

POTENTIAL CONTAMINANTS IN SOURCE WATER INCLUDE:

• MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS: Viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment facilities, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife.
• INORGANIC CONTAMINANTS: Salts and metals occurring naturally or resulting from urban runoff, industrial/domestic wastewater, oil/gas production, mining, or farming.
• ORGANIC CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS: Synthetic and volatile organics from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
• PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES: From various sources including agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
• RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINANTS: Can be naturally occurring or result from oil/gas production and mining activities.

To ensure tap water safety, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and State Water Resources Control Board establish regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems. State Board regulations also set similar limits for bottled water to provide equivalent public health protection.

All water, including bottled water, may reasonably contain at least minimal amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, call the USEPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: Some individuals may be more susceptible to contaminants than the general population. Immunocompromised persons, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, people with HIV/AIDS or immune disorders, some elderly individuals, and infants can be particularly vulnerable to infections. These individuals should seek advice about drinking water from their healthcare providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to reduce infection risk are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
