Water
is essential to life. The
drinking water we receive comes from ground water, streams, lakes
and springs. Therefore, protecting
source water from contamination and treating drinking water to
eliminate germs are both crucial to providing safe water for the
public.
When it comes to water, public health
concerns include pollution prevention, water quality testing, waterborne
disease prevention and fluoridation of drinking water to prevent cavities.
Contaminated water
can expose people to waterborne pathogens including cryptosporidium and
giardia.
