As part of the 1998 Safe Drinking Water Act, community water systems are legally required to send you a detailed report of what’s in your water.
The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) Tap Water Database
is an easy to use resource for taking a

Contaminants that you can't see in the water you drink come in many forms- bacteria, viruses, radioactive chemicals, pesticides, inorganic minerals, PFAS (forever chemicals), chlorine and many, many more...
Many of these are linked with causing cancer,
among various other health issues.
These contaminants accumulate in the body through constant daily consumption and general interaction with water-(drinking, showering, washing hands, dishes, clothes, cleaning etc.)
