What is in Biddeford and Saco Water Companys treated water?
All natural waters contain some chemicals. EPA has evaluated the chemicals which one might typically expect to be find in water and identified over 100 substances, which when present at levels above certain limits may be of health concern. All water utilities are required to routinely test for these substances to confirm that they are not present at concentrations that would be of concern. In addition, all utilities must issue an annual report listing all of these substances that were detected in their water supplies during the year, no matter how small the amount detected may have been. We issue this report in June of each year and mail a copy to all of our customers. To view our most recent Water Quality Report, click here.
