Definition
Category 1 water, also known as "clean water," originates from a sanitary water source and does not pose a substantial risk from dermal, ingestion, or inhalation exposure. Sources include broken water supply lines, tub or sink overflows with no contaminants, appliance malfunctions involving water supply lines, and melting ice or snow. However, if left untreated for 24-48 hours, Category 1 water can degrade to Category 2 or 3.
