Abstract:
Over the next three years, the North Carolina Public Water Supply Section will investigate every source of public drinking water in the state and issue reports telling consumers how susceptible their water supply is to pollution. Public drinking water watersheds and well areas will be evaluated in two phases. The first phase will rate public water supplies for their pollution risks, and the second phase will investigate in more detail the potential contaminant sources in watersheds and well areas.
