Where the water comes from
Saint Joseph draws water from 6 wells. 1 other public water system has an emergency connection to Saint Joseph.
Annual water quality report
Saint Joseph must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Where the state allows it, systems serving fewer than 10,000 people may publish the report in a local newspaper or news site instead of mailing it, and must provide a copy on request.

Testing your own water
