Who is most at risk? Can small children drink the water?
A There is no evidence to suggest that the water is not consumable, whether by small children or any other water consumer. Infants, some elderly, and persons with severely compromised immune systems would be at some increased risk in the event any contamination were to take place. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or you may visit the EPA website: www.epa.gov/safewater.
