Safe Drinking Water?

In an effort to prevent epidemics and waterborne diseases, the “Safe Drinking Water Act” was signed into legislation in 1974. Under this act, over 200,000 municipal water systems nationwide are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Acceptable Levels of Water Contamination

The EPA set safety standards for over 80 contaminants, however some studies suggest there have been over 75,000 chemical compounds identified in our waters. The EPA safety standards define maximum levels of bacteria, herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals that are apparently considered “acceptable” in the water we use for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Anything above those levels are considered contaminated or polluted.

The water that leaves your local municipal water treatment plant likely meets all EPA health standards. Then, there’s those miles of underground pipes in various stages of decay that deliver the water to your kitchen faucet.

“If you clean up the water and put it in a dirty pipe, there’s not much point”, stated Timothy Ford (Montana State University microbiologist and water research scientist). Ford further indicated, “I consider the distribution system to be the highest risk and the greatest problem we are going to be facing in the future”.

“Acceptable” Contamination…and Your Family

Even though the water probably does not exceed the EPA’s standards, do you really want your family drinking and cooking with water that has “acceptable” levels of bacteria, herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals in it?
