Brookhaven Lab Water Quality
Annual Consumer Confidence Reports

The Lab's Consumer Confidence Report — a special edition of The Bulletin — is published annually to provide an overview of water quality during the previous calendar year. Because the Lab is the on-site drinking-water supplier, BNL is required by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1976, as amended in 1996, to produce a yearly report on the quality of its drinking water. In addition to reminding consumers of the importance and need to protect drinking-water sources, the report's purpose is to inform drinking-water consumers:

• where our water comes from
• what analytical tests are conducted to ensure its safety
• what those tests reveal about the water
• how those results compare to state standards

Last year, as in the past, BNL's drinking water was in full compliance with all county, state, and federal regulations. In fact, the Lab's Plant Engineering Division, which is responsible for the Lab's drinking-water supply system, is proud to report that BNL's water has not violated a primary maximum contaminant level.
