Contaminants, defined by the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, broadly includes any substance or matter that is not water molecules.

This serves to protect not only the quality of drinking water, but also its sources- including both surface water and groundwater.

However, the presence of contaminants alone does not mean that water is unsafe.

Viruses, bacteria, salts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, radioactive materials, and by-products from industrial/commercial activity can all contaminate your drinking water. Fortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency sets clear regulations to determine whether your water is safe to drink.

From the City of Kerrville's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report from 2025, the city's water meets or exceeds the standards set by the EPA. 💧

One year later, we pause to reflect on the hearts forever changed by the flood, and to honor the strength, grief, love, and resilience that have carried this community forward.

Water has many faces. It can be beautiful and life-giving. It can shape the land, connect us to one another, and remind us where we belong. It can also rise with terrible force and leave behind loss that words cannot hold.

In many ways, our community has mirrored water in this year of recovery. We have moved around obstacles. We have carried what needed carrying. We have gathered strength from one another, sometimes quietly, sometimes with force, always finding a way forward together.

On the 250th anniversary of our nation’s independence, let us celebrate that spirit of community: a region still healing, still rebuilding, and still showing up for one another every day since July 4, 2025.

Though this holiday will always carry pain, may we find peace among one another as we grieve, remember, rebuild, and hold close all that it means to be .
