I saw a water quality report that rated Wilmington a "12" out of 100 -- 100 being the best. Is this correct? Is there a water quality issue up there?

Thanks!

I have never heard of a water quality issue per se -- at least a current and generalised one. Industrial pollutants in ground water may certainly have been an issue historically. I did find upon moving here that the water tasted - to me - slightly unpleasant and for a long time I only drank water in restaurants with lemon in it (I've used a Brita for years at home before ever coming to Delaware anyway). Can you provide a link to a website with the info you saw?

I would be more concerned about air quality here. There are BTW significant cancer "hot spots" in DE, so if it concerns you, you should find a map of those on the internet.
