Where does your community obtain its water? Is it from a surface source or an underground aquifer? Has your household received information from your community water provider on contaminants in your water? The information should also be posted on the EPA website, www.epa.gov/your-drinking-water/basic-information-about-your-drinking-water. Does your community’s water meet EPA standards? What are some of your insights about water quality findings, based on what you’ve learned from course readings and lecture?
