Staten Island has a population of approximately 60,000 people. Because this area is so small and so close to New York City, it is easy for residents to be aware of problems that may occur in their town. The first step you can take when having an issue with your tap water is to make sure you get a sample from a well to check for contamination and testing.
A well is a tube that is deep into the ground. In the past, well water was pumped through and then disposed of. Today, many homeowners have well water storage tanks to hold treated water in order to use it later. Once you have found the source of the problem, finding a reputable company to check your water for contamination may be the best option.
