| What can I do to control drinking water contaminants? |
| Drinking water contaminants are considered any hazardous contaminants or pollutants that may appear in your drinking water. The most effective way of reducing drinking water contaminants is by controlling it at the source of your drinking water. Preventative measures such as modification of tilling methods and run-off control in agriculture, the use of lined catchment ponds for treatment of wastes, and double lined underground storage tanks can greatly reduce the number of drinking water contaminants you encounter. As consumers we can educate ourselves about drinking water contaminants by learning about the source of our tap water, the possibility of it containing drinking water contaminants, and the options for treatment should we find drinking water contaminants.
