Water Sources

Caroline County has many different water sources in county.  Personally I’m a well-water kind of guy, but that’s not an option where I live.  I found a source from the New York Times that shows a list of the county water sources and links to the results of each water system’s latest test.  Some of the results are a bit disconcerting.
