Medications making their way into drinking water a concern for scientists.
STANDISH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- With roughly a trillion gallons of water, it is hard to believe that one pill, or even an entire bottle of them, could have an impact on the water quality of Sebago Lake, but think again.
"We are concerned about all contaminants that could possibly enter Sebago Lake, and subsequently the water supply," explained Michael Koza, the lab manager at the Portland Water District.
Koza says Sebago Lake, the drinking water source for nearly 200,000 people, is clean and pristine, but that doesn't mean they haven't detected minuscule amounts of medications and other contaminants.
