The content on Checked Water is for general information only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about your own water or your own health.

Water quality varies from one home to the next, even on the same street. Only a test of your own water, or your utility’s report for your water system, tells you what is in it. If a test shows a contaminant above a legal limit or a health advisory level, contact your water utility or your local or state health department, and follow their advice on whether the water is safe to drink.

If you are pregnant, are preparing formula for an infant, have a weakened immune system or have a health condition you think may be related to your water, talk to a doctor.

Never ignore official advice, such as a boil-water notice, because of something you read on this site. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.
