What is non-potable groundwater?
A. Non-potable groundwater is groundwater that is deemed unsuitable for the uses specified in Question 1 due to naturally occurring elements and/or dissolved salts present in the groundwater. Non-potable groundwater could act as a transport mechanism to affect human or other receptors such as surface waters or other environmental areas or species. Non-potable groundwater may become potable if currently available treatment technologies are available to render the groundwater potable.
