Metals may be naturally present in some areas (they DO come from the ground, you know) or they may enter the water table from improperly disposed of wastes. In some cases, metals may have entered the water supply by way of piping- at one time lead pipes, or coper pipes soldered together with lead was the standard water supply pipe.
