Testing Drinking Water Quality

You are what you drink; or rather your health is influenced by what you drink. Put down that soda pop right now. Not only does it contain empty calories but it is preventing you from getting enough water in your diet.

Water is essential to life. Animals, vegetation and the human body need it to survive. Drinking water quality is really important nowadays as more pollutants and waste seep into the ground. Boiled or processed water can be terrible tasting but that does not mean you have to give up there.

It is your responsibility to ensure the drinking water quality of your household. You can take steps by buying water purifiers and drinking water systems that help take out additional impurities, but ultimately you must know where your local water supply comes from and how it is cleaned.

If there are local industries that you worry are polluting the water supplies, then you can always contact the Environmental Protection Agency for help.

Demand that your drinking water quality from your local source water supplier is fully within the EPA's guidelines. By staying informed and being aware of the laws and regulations you will know what to expect from your local supplier.

You can also stay aware of any local industry that may be polluting water basins and putting your safe water in the danger zone.
