How does Arsenic get into our water supply?<\/h2><\/div>For most people, the words \u201cArsenic\u201d and \u201cDrinking Water\u201d are not ones you want to hear in the same sentence, however Arsenic occurs naturally in rocks and soil and as it breaks down can dissolve into ground water, entering our lakes and rivers (our drinking water sources). Arsenic also finds its way into the environment through industrial and agricultural waste.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Is there a safe level of Arsenic allowable in drinking water?<\/h2><\/div>The maximum acceptable value of Arsenic in drinking water is 0.01mg per litre, as per New Zealand Drinking Water Guidelines.\u00a0The reported levels detected in Hamilton and Auckland of 0.013mg\/l are marginally above the acceptable value defined for drinking water.<\/p>\n<\/div>
