Where the Water Supply Comes From?
Surface Water, which is susceptible to contamination directly entering the supply.
Ground Water, which is susceptible to contaminants that are present in the soil and the rock as the water makes its way to the aquifer.

Microbiological
Virus or bacteria from sewage, agriculture or wildlife
Inorganic
Rock or metal based, usually naturally occurring
Pesticides
Organic
Carbon based, usually industry by-product
Radioactive
Typically naturally occurring, but could be elevated by mining operations
