The EPA emphasizes protecting sources of drinking water from contamination because it is more desirable, effective and economical to prevent contamination of drinking water supplies than to pay for treatment, or to clean up an already-polluted source. States are currently assessing all the drinking water sources within their boundaries. These assessments map the rivers, lakes and ground water wells that supply public drinking water and identify principal threats to water quality. States can also utilize millions of federal dollars to take actions to protect source waters. To learn more about protecting drinking water sources, visit www.epa.gov or call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline.
Once informed about the sources and quality of your local drinking water, you can make the best possible choices about the water you and your children drink. Today, more and more homeowners and businesses are choosing one type or another of water filtration system to ensure the water they provide for their families and employees is as safe as possible. This is proving to be an excellent alternative to buying bottled water or waiting for their local bureaucratic wheels to roll faster.
