Correct Answer
A. Sending in a water sample to the health departmentExplanation
Sending in a water sample to the health department is not part of the water quality criteria because it is not a specific parameter or measurement used to assess the quality of water. The water quality criteria typically include factors such as pH levels, chlorine levels, and visual clarity of the water. These criteria help determine if the water is safe for swimming or other uses. However, sending in a water sample to the health department is a process that may be done to further analyze the water quality or to address specific concerns, but it is not a direct part of the water quality criteria.Rate this question:
