Contaminants Detected
Legal Doesn't Mean Safe
- Meeting legal standards doesn't always equate to safety. A passing grade from federal authorities doesn't necessarily signify that the Water Quality aligns with the latest health guidelines.
- It's been nearly two decades since the permissible levels of contaminants in tap water were last updated.
- The most reliable method for ensuring clean city water is by preventing pollution from entering the source water in the first place.
