The Drinking Water Toxics Program is responsible for
coordinating state-wide groundwater sampling for chemical contamination of
private drinking water supplies. Contamination monitoring helps protect the
public from agricultural chemicals, industrial solvents and heavy metals.
The program provides technical consultation to county health officials,
state agencies and federal entities regarding human exposures from
waterborne contaminants.
