How do you know if your CT water is potable for drinking? The only way to tell for sure is to have it tested by a certified professional.
Harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses are invisible to the naked eye, so water which looks and tastes good may not necessarily be safe to drink. These microbes can exist in surface and groundwater supplies, and can cause immediate sickness in humans if not properly treated.

Certain contaminants that are sometimes found in a water sources can cause long term health problems that take years to develop. Frequent water testing will help you identify unsafe water and ensure that your treatment system is functioning properly.
