Not convinced about contamination in water, please read:

EPA  United States Environmental Protection Agency

 National Primary Drinking Water Regulations

National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs or primary standards) are legally enforceable standards that apply to public water systems. Primary standards protect public health by limiting the levels of contaminants in drinking water.

THIS IS SERIOUS

Make sure that you choose a Water Filter System that can help to reduce most of  these contaminants!

Here’s the list of drinking water contaminants and the health risks…

So read labels carefully! Bottled water is regulated, but not stringently. There are fewer regulations for bottled water than tap water. Bottled water manufacturers are not required to disclose as much information as municipal water utilities because of gaps in federal oversight authority, bottom line: The Food and Drug Administration oversees bottled water, and U.S. EPA is in charge of tap water.

The only requirement placed on bottled water companies is that it is as safe as tap water, (That means FDA has generally adopted EPA’s standards for contaminants in drinking water for its bottled water regulations). Meaning it may be nothing more than filtered tap water from some municipality. FDA regulates bottled water as a food and cannot require certified lab testing or violation reporting. Furthermore, FDA does not require bottled water companies to disclose to consumers where the water came from, how it has been treated or what contaminants it contains.

“Just don’t assume anything”.

Why not just drink water from tap with a Quality Drinking Water System!

The Truth About Bottled Water

Tell Gov. Cuomo:

No Fracking. No Where. No Way!

A statewide ban has so far protected New Yorkers and your water from this dangerous practice of gas drilling. Now, Governor Cuomo is trying to find a way to crack the ban. Unless enough New Yorkers speak out, he’ll likely succeed in opening the fracking floodages in the state.

Tell Governor Cuomo: All New Yorkers need clean water. No fracking. No where. No way.

Governor Cuomo’s plan calls for fracking in some of the most economically depressed counties in South Western New York - in other words, the counties that might be desperate enough to risk their clean water for the promise of a few jobs, lucrative drilling lease deals, and government revenue.

Far too many families in states like Pennsylvania and Colorado have already learned – too late – that this is not a deal worth making. No amount of gas industry promises can uncontaminate their water wells and give them back access to safe drinking water.² No deals can unspill toxic chemicals on their fields, or can make up for health impacts like constant headaches and runny noses from close exposure to the toxic drilling fluids.³

No one in New York should be forced to make this sacrifice, or become guinea pigs in this fracking experiment.

No one in New York should be forced to make this sacrifice, or become guinea pigs in this fracking experiment.

The petition reads:

“Fracking is not safe. Please maintain New York’s fracking ban and don’t frack anywhere in our state. No families should be asked to sacrifice their clean water and health in exchange for gas industry promises.”

If the water in your city is unhealthy, buy a quality water filter system

Retired Marine Sergeant Jerry Ensminger thought the water that came out of his taps at the Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina was safe. It’s the water he bathed his daughter Janey in and the water he gave her to drink. But it was also the water that killed her.

Jerry’s daughter Janey was diagnosed with childhood leukemia when she was 6 years old, and died three years later in 1987.

In the following years, Jerry asked himself again and again why Janey got sick when they had no family history of cancer. Then, he learned what the Marine Corps had known for decades: the water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals, poisoning the water and the people there. But instead of telling people, the Marines covered it up.

Today, the government refuses to pay for medical treatments for veterans and their family members who were poisoned. So Jerry started a petition on Change.org to get other veterans’ families the health care they need to fight the effects of Camp Lejeune’s water.

Victory

After more than 135,000 people signed Jerry Ensminger’s campaign on Change.org, President Obama has signed the Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act into law.

When rain falls to the ground, the water does not stop moving. Some of it flows along the land surface to streams or lakes, some is used by plants. Some evaporates and returns to the atmosphere. And some seeps underground, into pores between sand, clay and rock formations called aquifers. Water moves through aquifers much like a glass of water poured onto a pile of sand.

Many communities obtain their drinking water from aquifers. Water suppliers drill wells through soil and rock into aquifers to reach the ground and supply the public with drinking water. Many homes also have their own private wells drilled on their property to tap this supply. Unfortunately, the ground water can become contaminated by human activity. These chemicals can enter the soil and rock, polluting the aquifer and eventually the well.

• Underground Injection Control Program - The UIC Program is responsible for regulating the construction, operation, permitting, and closure of injection wells that place fluids underground for storage or disposal. This site provides information for owners and operators of injection wells and state regulators on how to safely operate injection wells to prevent contamination of underground drinking water resources.
• Ground Water Rule  - The Ground Water Rule provides for increased protection against microbial pathogens in public water systems that use ground water sources.
• Source Water Protection
  • Wellhead Protection Program - The Wellhead Protection Program (WHPP) is a pollution prevention and management program used to protect underground sources of drinking water.
  • Citizen’s Guide to Ground Water Protection (PDF) (34 pp, 2MB, About PDF)
• Private Drinking Water Wells - Approximately 15 percent of Americans rely on their own private drinking water supplies, and these supplies are not subject to EPA standards. Some state and local governments do set rules to protect users of private wells. Households with private wells must take special precautions to ensure the protection and maintenance of their drinking water supplies.
• Ground Water Classroom Activities - Find lesson plans that illustrate how water is stored in an aquifer, how ground water can become contaminated, and how this contamination ends up in the drinking water well.
