City Water vs. Well Water: What's In Yours — And How to Remove It

City water and well water come with different primary risks — because city water is treated and travels through miles of pipe, while well water comes straight out of the ground, untreated. These are the PRIMARY risks for each — not the only ones. City water can have bacteria scares, and wells can have PFAS. The only list that truly matters is the one in YOUR water — so test it.

City Water (Municipal): Regulated by the EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Your utility must test, treat, and publish a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) every year.
