All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring
contaminants. Because water is the universal solvent, many materials are easily dissolved
upon contact. At low levels, these contaminants generally are not harmful in our drinking
water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive and in nearly all cases
would not provide greater protection of health. A few of the naturally occurring
substances may actually improve the taste of drinking water and may have nutritional
values at low levels. [

Drinking Water?, refer to their webpage: http://www.epa.gov/OGWDW/wot/howsafe.html
The United States
Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water has issued
drinking water standards, or Maximum Contaminant Level s (MCLs) for more than 80
contaminants. The standards limit the amount of each substance allowed to be present in
drinking water.
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
(NPDWRs or primary standards)
are legally enforceable standards that apply to public water systems.
Primary standards protect public health by limiting the levels of contaminants
in drinking water.
A copy of: Current Drinking Water Standards / National Primary and
Secondary Drinking Water Regulations appears on their webpage: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/mcl.html
