Water & Waste

- Do you know where your water comes from?
- If you the consumer obtain water from a municipal / regional trunk line, you are relying on those organizations to ensure you are being provided with safe potable water;
- Whereas if you obtain water from a drinking water well, you rely upon your own initiatives to ensure you are receiving safe potable drinking water.
- Did you know many processes within industry result in discharges into the local sewer system?
