Starting next year, consumer confidence reports will come with your water bill.
They will list what chemicals are in drinking water- how much of them -- and what dangers they pose, if any.
Meanwhile, the E-P-A is still checking whether some contaminants in drinking water are dangerous to pregnant woman.
To be on the safe side, they want to lower the limit of those chemicals -- called (Tri-hal-o-methane) trihalomethane from 100 micrograms per liter to 80 micrograms per liter.
Roanoke's chemical levels are already well below that limit-- at 30 micrograms per liter-- compared to Danville's which is 62 micrograms per liter but still within the safety zone.
