Special Notices
Special Notice For The Elderly, Infants,
Cancer Patients, People With HIV/Aids
Or Other Immune Problems:
Some people may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain contaminants found in our drinking water. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, those with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders and some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. The EPA/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen infection by Cryptosporidium
and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791. |
