A Test Of City Water Finds Two Violations

City water reports provide both the average value of a contaminant and the range including the highs and lows. A customer of mine who is trying to regain her health recently asked me to test her city’s water. I normally rely on city water reports but she wanted some insight into the water at her faucet. USEPA regulates the level of contaminants that public agencies are allowed to provide to their customers. But what most people don’t realize is that these agencies can exceed the standards from time to time as long as the annual average remains within the limits set by EPA. All city water will contain some form of chlorine and its carcinogenic byproducts. For this reason I recommend that every home have a water filter, but which filter you need depends on what’s in your water.

Which Bottled Water Will You Drink This Summer?

It’s my view that the concern felt among consumers about contaminants in bottled water is exaggerated. I’ve reviewed the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) study that listed contaminants found in bottled water and conclude that for the most part bottled water is safe. I drink bottled water when I travel. Otherwise I drink appropriately filtered tap water. My preference is to drink local spring water with a slightly alkaline pH. You’ll also find a link to a report in which I recommend specific regional (U.S. only) bottled waters for only 99 cents, less than the cost of a bottle of water.
