💧 Where Does Your Water Come From?

Groundwater

Brookside Mobile Home Park's water is pumped from underground aquifers. Groundwater is naturally filtered through rock and soil, but it can be vulnerable to PFAS contamination, nitrates from agriculture, and industrial chemicals that seep into the water table.
