Public drinking water remains the safest option for consumption because New York State certified operators are on call 24/7, monitoring the water and making sure the water treatment plant is operating correctly to remove contaminants. Water suppliers regularly test public water to make sure that levels for more than 100 different contaminants meet strict drinking water standards before they reach your tap. You can read more at New York's Public Water System.
Furthermore, consumers have the right to know what is in their drinking water. The information contained in an Annual Water Quality Report can raise consumers' awareness regarding the source of their drinking water, help consumers to understand the process by which safe drinking water is delivered to their homes, and educate consumers about the importance of preventative measures, such as source protection, that ensure a safe drinking water supply. The information in the reports can be used by consumers, especially those with special health needs, to make informed decisions regarding their drinking water. Educated consumers are more likely to help protect their drinking water sources and to appreciate the true costs of safe drinking water. Lastly, the Understanding Your Water Quality Report published by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) helps one understand this report.
