Is Your Drinking Water Safe?

Although most drinking water in the United States is considered safe, there is an increasing concern about the quality of drinking water — especially as more and more contaminants are found in groundwater supplies. The worry about possible health problems resulting from these contaminants is causing consumers to seek solutions to ensure that the quality of their drinking water is maintained.

What Do We Find in the Hudson Valley?

Well, to start, the Hudson Valley is much like the rest of the United States. Around 85% of the water is considered “hard water." Hard water typically will not harm you, but it will likely harm your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances.

Who is Responsible for Testing the Water Supplies?

For individual wells, the responsibility lies with the homeowner. For municipal water supplies, the responsibility lies with the “owner” of the supply. Each year, this “owner” has to publish the results of a water test on their water with NYS. This annual water quality report has to list all contaminants found. The contaminants most often found in this area are coliform bacteria, organic chemicals, and MTBE.
