Local Drinking Water Quality Data is Available

---

If you are one of the more than 260 million people who receive water from a community water supply, keep your eye out for this year's water quality report. The report will include a brief description of the source of your drinking water and the levels of contaminants that may be found in it when it reaches your tap. Water suppliers are required to deliver these annual reports (also called consumer confidence reports) to their customers by July 1. The report may arrive along with your bill or as a separate mailing. Apartment dwellers can get a copy from their landlord or directly from their water supplier. Many reports are available on the Internet, and EPA has links to hundreds of them at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo.htm
