Whether stepping across a clear stream deep in the woods or filling up a bottle at a gas station during a road trip, we’ve all wondered, “Is this water safe to drink?” Unfortunately, many Teton County residents must ask this about their drinking water daily. It is imperative to know whether contaminants we cannot see, taste or smell have made their way into the water we drink every day. These contaminants are a real threat in areas like Pub Place, Old West Cabins, Kelly, Alta and Hoback Junction, where nearly 40 households now rely on a clean drinking water delivery program funded by Protect Our Water Jackson Hole.
