There's
been a lot of talk lately about drinking water. You may have seen
features in the newspaper, on television news and in popular magazines,
even in movies and television specials. This media coverage, combined
with the new annual reports on drinking water that water systems are
sending directly to their customers, is making many people think more
about their drinking water. A question many people have on their minds
is: Should I be concerned about the tap water my children are drinking?
This booklet explains how national standards contribute to drinking
water safety, and helps readers make informed, reasonable choices
about the water they and their children drink.

Some communities have made their
annual water quality reports available online on this site. For
more information about the drinking water quality in your community
and your state, read
your water quality report if it is online, or contact your water
supplier to get a copy. |
