PWSID: About the Swine Flu and Your Drinking Water Issue Date: 04-27-2009

Important Information

You may have read or heard in the news that Human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in the United States.

It is important for you to know that federal and state drinking water regulations require filtration and disinfection of all surface water supplies (e.g., those from lakes, reservoirs, or rivers). These regulations specify specific treatment requirements for removal and inactivation of viruses and protozoan cysts. In addition, American Water provides disinfection of all groundwater supplies. Influenza viruses, including swine flu, are effectively removed by filtration and disinfection.

Our water meets all current federal and state drinking water requirements.

More information about the swine flu can be found on the CDC Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/
