The Hidden Threats in Residential Water

Many home buyers assume their water is safe. However, serious health hazards can hide in both city water and private wells:

• Lead: leaches from old pipes and stains plumbing fixtures.

• Arsenic: occurs naturally in rock and contaminates well water.

• Radon: dissolves into groundwater and releases harmful gas into the home.

• PFAS: man-made chemicals that linger in water systems indefinitely.

• Bacteria: E. coli and coliform find their way into wells through three main entry points: structural failures in the well, insufficient natural filtration by the soil, and accidental introduction during maintenance.
