Another issue? Water mains have been known to burst, which can cause contamination problems for many homes. When water lines lose pressure, contaminants may enter the system. Which results in a boil advisory.
So what major contaminants should you be aware of? Here's a list of the 11 most common city water contaminants according to the CDC.
- Giardia
- Legionella
- Norovirus
- Shigella
- Campylobacter
- Copper
- Salmonella
- Hepatitis A
- Cryptosporidium
- E.coli
- Excess fluoride
Remember, most city water treatment facilities do a great job of reducing these and monitoring water quality.
