What is this new drinking water report that I have heard about?

Last Updated: March 03, 2010

Community water suppliers must deliver annual drinking water quality reports (called Consumer Confidence Reports) to their customers. These reports will tell consumers where their water originates, what contaminant concentrations are in their water, and how these concentrations compare to drinking water standards. The reports must be provided annually before July 1. In most cases, they are mailed directly to consumers' homes. Contact your water supplier to obtain a copy of your report.
