Is your well or city water pure? 

You might be surprised at how common it is to find bacteria in your drinking water. There are many types of bacteria and viruses, some occurring naturally in the environment, others caused by human or animal waste, that can end up contaminating your water.

If this happens, it can cause health problems such as:

  • Cramps
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Headaches

Certain microorganisms cause even more serious diseases, and can be especially harmful to infants, children, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems.

The specific types of bacteria found in the water supply of Western, NY, can vary based on environmental factors, water treatment methods, and contamination sources. Common bacteria include coliform bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli), which indicate fecal contamination and potential health risks if present in drinking water.
