Do you Know What Your City Water Contains?
Most of us know that the water we drink contains more than just pure water - but what's really in your city water and how do you know if you should be worried about it? While much of the United States fortunately has good quality water and many of the additional compounds and elements found in city water are relatively harmless, others such as lead, chromium, and emerging contaminants like PFAS can cause both acute and long term damage to your health and in particular, to the health of infants, children, those who are immunocompromised, or other vulnerable populations.
Why You Should Have Your City Water Tested
While public water supples are required to publish an annual consumer confidence report, it is not unusual for a city of 60,000 residents to be given water quality results based on only 30 faucets and most often, it wasn't the water in your home that was tested. Local effects such as tree root infiltration, lead-based solder in copper pipes, and corroding plumbing can mean that your water may be quite different than that of even a nearby neighbor. In fact, many of the most concerning contaminants found in city water are tasteless and odorless. The only way to know if they are in the water you drink every day is to have it tested.
City Water Testing Is Important For Homes
Public water supplies are required to periodically test the water they provide to their customers, you, to ensure it meets EPA standards. Unfortunately, many of these standards are decades old and may not reflect the most current thinking of public health scientists, toxicologists, and so forth. With Your Xpress Water Testing® Report, we will compare the levels of contaminants and characteristics in your city water not only to EPA limits, but to our scientists' recommended limits, allowing you to see how your water compares in the latest clinical and scientific recommendations*.
