Where can I learn more about the water quality in our area?

If you are on city water in the United States, Canada or other developed countries, and want to learn more about your water source or water chemistry, a good place to contact is your local water utility. In the United States, every water utility is required to publish a yearly Consumer Confidence Report or CCR, which describes the sources of your water, the water chemistry, and any problems or violations related to your water. To see if your water system has put their CCR online, go to the EPA's "Local Drinking Water Information".
