Water Quality Brochure

If you are poking around the front stairway, you may spy a pile of these brochures sitting on the floor. They are the Salem and Beverly Water Supply Board 2009 Water Quality Report.
It outlines where our water comes from, how it is processed, and most interesting of all, lists all of the levels of microbiological, inorganic chemical, and heavy-metal contaminants, including copper and lead, that are found in our drinking water. Pick one up. It makes for some interesting reading. On second thought, maybe you don't want to know...
