What are bacteria?

Sewage overflows, water main breaks, and other environmental factors can cause bacterial contamination in drinking water.Coliform bacteria are not typically harmful, but their presence can be indication of something more dangerous.

E. coli is a species of coliform bacteria that can cause serious illness if ingested.

How will I know if my water is unsafe?

• No Visible Sign
  
• No Distinct Taste
  
• No Distinct Odor
  

Only a test can confirm contamination.

Your public water system is required to notify you if your drinking water is unsafe, but privately-owned, individual water supply safety rests in the hands of its owner.
