Radon in Drinking Water
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas found naturally in soil. While it can be present in drinking water obtained from underground sources, it is not typically a concern for water from surface sources such as lakes and rivers. EPA estimates radon in drinking water contributes less than two percent to the total radon levels found in air (radon in the air is the most likely source for health concerns). Radon in water can escape into the air when showering or cooking. The amount of radon present in water provided by Jordan Valley Water (as listed in the water quality data table) is not considered a health threat.
Health Alert
The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Read More
