Based on a study reported by CNN; The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a test of 36,000 different water samples between 2013 and 2015. This study revealed that public water supply can be unsafe for millions of Americans due to levels of different contaminants in public water.
What can be harmful in water?
Contaminated water causes digestive issues and can cause several types of cancer. Many schools face the threat of lead in the water. Lead is a very common issue for older buildings. There are two common types of contaminants in water:
- Chemical contaminants: bleach, nitrogen, salts and pesticides
- Biological contaminants: microbes and organisms
What needs to be done?
In any case, having your water tested and reported annually is necessary and imperative. To add, warning others that your water is contaminated can prevent legal issues, fines and potential law suits. The water source must be clearly marked unsafe.
If your water is unsafe to drink; a “Do Not Drink” sign or a “Hand Wash Sink Only” sign must be installed and clearly visible. Who knows what is present in your drinking water. Help to keep our children healthy and safe by getting your water tested and clearly marking unsafe drinking water with a digitally printed vinyl sign.
