Water companies that supply Columbia

None of the 4 with results was above 15 at its latest test. 2 found too little lead to measure. Small ones like Dartmouth Village Elderly Housing supply just their own grounds or street; most of Columbia gets its water from Hillside Condominiums. 3 are small systems serving fewer than 500 people each, such as a mobile home park, a subdivision or a business with its own well. Your water bill names yours.
