Overview

Legal does not necessarily equal safe.

  • Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
  • Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
  • The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.

AquaPura's analysis shows 7 contaminant(s) detected in Huntington - Castle Valley Special Service District's water exceed recommended health guidelines, though they may be within legal limits set by the EPA.
