The notice that was mailed seems to have conflicting messages about how safe the water is. How can we be sure it is safe to drink and use?
A In order to comply with the public notice requirements of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, certain mandatory language is required to be included in the public notice. This language is similar to any legal disclosure in painting the worst case scenario. The same language is required to be used regardless of what the level of risk for contamination might be. In our case, we have never documented any cases of contamination, but until filtration brings us into compliance, a case of contamination could have adverse health effects.
