@suzyqueue - I cannot say about where anyone else lives, but I trust our city officials and staff. Many years ago we had a scare about higher than average numbers of cancer cases possibly linked to water contamination; our city wells were tested, and a number of them along one aquifer were capped off due to old industrial chemicals (later determined not to be the cancer cause, but no longer part of our water supply.) The polluted site was cleaned and covered as well. It is still monitored regularly by city and state agencies. A few years later a neighboring town with which we trade water when needed found a similar situation and capped some wells there too. Currently our staff are fighting with balky equipment sometimes over-chlorinating part of our water - they regularly communicate their efforts to resolve the problem via the city website and social media... so based on history and my knowledge of our elected officials and staff, yes, I would trust them to truthfully report test results.
