If there is a <br /> failure for a primary constituent treatment is normally required. <br /> Secondary: Items listed as secondary are regulated because they may adversely affect the <br /> taste, odor or appearance of drinking water. They are not directly health related. <br /> If there is a failure for a secondary constituent on a small public water system it is <br /> best to consult your regulator to determine if treatment is required.A secondary <br /> constituent failure for a private water system does not require treatment. <br /> However, the owner may wish to treat the water in order to improve the quality. <br /> Treatment: If your water requires treatment we suggest that you contact a qualified water <br /> treatment company.They are normally listed in the yellow pages under the <br /> following topics: <br /> Water Purification & Filtration Equipment <br /> Water Softening& Conditioning Equipment <br /> Water Treatment Equipment <br /> Health Effects Language <br /> Nitrate Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL may quickly <br /> become seriously ill and,if untreated,may die because high nitrate levels can interfere with the capacity of <br /> the infant's blood to carry oxygen.
