Answer 1

For tap water, I rely on the consumer confidence report put out by the water company. I also trust my own nose for the things that the company lies about.

For ponds and streams, I rely mostly on biomonitoring of the bentic macroinvertebrates (I look at the critters living there) plus occasional chemical and physical testing.

Answer 2

Yes I do. I live in the country and my water comes from a well. I believe that people who live in the country have to worry about the environment more than people who live in the city. If our neighbors pollute the ground it will eventually end up in our water.

Answer 6

I bought some pool test strips to test my water for chemicals. When I found how full of chlorine it was, I put filters on my shower heads and kitchen faucet.
