Vermont Drinking Water
|
The
water you drink |
Drinking water suppliers now provide reports (sometimes called consumer
confidence reports) that tell where drinking water comes from, and
what contaminants may be in it.
Local information, such as contacts, case studies, and more on source water protection for your state can be found here.
|
To view the information about your drinking water supplier that
is in EPA's database, enter part or all of your water supplier's
name, or browse the list of counties in your state. Then, click
the "Search" button. |
To view the information about your drinking water supplier that is in
EPA's database, please visit the Envirofacts page on your state.
If your drinking water comes from a private well, you are responsible for
your water's safety. EPA rules do not apply to private wells (although
some state rules do), but EPA
recommends that well owners have their water tested annually. Contact
your state to get a list
of certified commercial laboratories that test drinking water.

Funds for safer water |
States can use funds that the EPA makes available through the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program to help their water
suppliers improve drinking water quality. Find out more about Vermont's program.
