Drinking Water

The oil spill is not currently expected to affect drinking water, and it is also not projected to impact domestic wells. Your water supplier must notify you by newspaper, mail, radio, TV, or hand-delivery if your water doesn't meet Environment Protection Agency (EPA) or state standards or if there is a waterborne disease emergency. This notice will describe any precautions you need to take, such as boiling your water. If you have any concerns about your water, contact your water utility.
