Water is essential to life |
Most Americans enjoy
safe public drinking water. About 16% have private wells. The EPA regulates the
levels of many pollutants in public drinking water systems, but not in private
wells. Some of the most important drinking water contaminants are arsenic,
disinfection byproducts, nitrate and lead.
