About Us
Tap water and bottled water sources include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land or underground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials, and can pick up substances from animal or human activities.
Potential contaminants in source water include:
- Microbial contaminants: Viruses and bacteria from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural operations, and wildlife.
- Inorganic contaminants: Salts and metals occurring naturally or resulting from urban runoff, wastewater discharges, oil/gas production, mining, or farming.
- Pesticides and herbicides: From various sources including agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
- Organic chemical contaminants: Synthetic and volatile organic compounds from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, urban runoff, and septic systems.
- Radioactive contaminants: Naturally-occurring or resulting from oil/gas production and mining activities.
