education, and community outreach using web-based resources.
Is Your Drinking Water Safe ?
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1999, is the main federal law that ensures the quality of Americans' drinking water. Under SDWA, EPA sets standards for drinking water quality and oversees the states, localities, and water suppliers who implement those standards.
If you use a Public Water or city water source, you are provided some protection under the SDWA. For More information, please visit - Drinking Water in My State. If you are not serviced by a Public or Community Water Supply, you may not be protected by the SDWA. If you are a private well owner, you are not covered by the SDWA. It is up to YOU to determine if you water is suitable for drinking.
A Few Drinking Water Facts
The goal of this website is not to alarm or scare YOU, but to suggest that you may need to take some action to ensure that YOU and Your Family Are Drinking Safe Water.
1. EPA and most States do not regulate Private Water Systems. They do not regulate well or spring construction and the are no programs to ensure the safety of you drinking water source.
2. A USGS Investigation found that over 70 % of Private Wells were contaminated. This contamination could result in acute and chronic health concerns.
3. Land-use changes and increase development and density have impacted water sources through the United States. This contamination include: microbiological agents, industrial chemicals, gasoline stations, illegal discharges, farming/ agricultural practice, improper waste disposal and more.
4.The New York Times, June 2, 1995: "More than 1 in 5 Americans unknowingly drink tap water polluted with feces, radiation or other contaminants...Nearly 1,000 deaths each year and at least 400,000 cases of waterborne illness may be attributed to contaminated water.
5.It has been estimated that 53 million Americans, about 20 percent of the population, have been drinking water that is contaminated with feces, radiation, lead, or other poisons. This is according to data collected by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 1993-1994. This was a 7.6 million increase over 1992!
What Next ?
Get Your Water Tested
Community Water Source
If you get city water or serviced by a central water supply with over 25 users, you are probably covered under the SDWA. I would suggest the following:
1. Request a Water Quality Report from Your Water Supplier
2. Visit the Water Quality in My
State Website
3. Visit your water suppliers website or contact from more information about
your water source.
4. Get online - ask questions. If you need help, please email Water
Guy.
Private Water Source
If you own a well or spring, You are probably
not protected by the SDWA (Safe Drinking Water Act). I would suggest the following:
1. Obtain information about your water source.
2. Get your water tested - At least
Annually
3. Install the necessary water treatment systems. I have provided some
online links for water treatment systems, but I always recommend a preliminary water test.

Helpguide.
