Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The consumer confidence report (also known as the right-to-know report)reports the condition of drinking water.Because this is only one citizen,whose sense of taste may be affected by many conditions,it would not be appropriate to overreact by calling in governmental agencies first.Even so,in case one needed to contact an authority,it would be appropriate to start with local governmental agencies such as the city water department rather than federal agencies.
