Hawaii Drinking
Water
 |
| The
water you drink |
|
Drinking water suppliers now provide reports (sometimes called consumer
confidence reports) that tell where drinking water comes from, and
what contaminants may be in it. Read your water quality
report if it is online, or contact your water supplier to get
a copy. |
| To view the information about your drinking water supplier that
is in EPA's database, enter part or all of your water supplier's
name, or browse the list of counties in your state. Then, click
the "Search" button. |
If your drinking water comes from a private well, you are responsible
for your water's safety. EPA rules do not apply to private wells (although
some state rules do), but EPA
recommends that well owners have their water tested annually. Contact
your state to get a list
of certified commercial laboratories that test drinking water.
