Who can I contact if I have questions about government regulations of drinking water supplies or water quality in general?

If you have questions regarding the development of the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) and Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) levels shown on your report, you can contact the EPA's safe drinking water hotline at Phone Number: 800-426-4791. The staff at this hotline number can address questions about federal drinking water standards and provide general information on water quality in the United States.
