Mercury in Your Water
Mercury in your drinking water poses a threat to your health. The U.S. EPA has set the current standard for mercury in drinking water at 2 ppb. The amount of mercury in public water systems is regulated according to EPA standards. If your water comes from a public system, it is routinely tested to ensure safe mercury levels. Unlike users of public water systems, those who use private water supplies (such as wells, springs, and cisterns) are responsible for ensuring the quality of their own drinking water. Since private systems are more susceptible to mercury than public water systems, private well owners should take steps to guard their health through routine testing and wellhead maintenance and protection.

Lead and Copper
Private wells are exclusively supplied by groundwater. The source waters for most public water systems in south Georgia (and some in north Georgia) are also supplied by groundwater. Generally, lead and copper concentrations in the major underground aquifers in Georgia are far below the U.S. EPA’s action levels. Corrosive water can dissolve small amounts of these metals from plumbing which, upon drinking, may be harmful to your health.
