The water that reaches your tap is most likely recycled, coming from treatment plants in the US. It can also come from rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and/or wells, and the city does a great job making it safe to drink. However, it is through the underground pipes that the water can become contaminated. It happens due to the dissolution of minerals, accumulation of sediments, substances derived from human activities or, in some cases, they may even contain animal waste.

 Some people are more vulnerable to certain contaminants found in treated water, such as arsenic, excess chlorine, lead, among others.

Children, elderly, and immune system impaired people are at higher risk of being affected by these chemicals.
