How Safe Is San Antonio’s Tap Water
It’s getting harder and harder to tell if water is safe for you to drink. There have even been reports that in some cases, bottled water is WORSE for you than the actual water that comes from the tap. So what we want to do is give you the best information that we have so that you can make the nest decision for your business, customers and ultimately, your family.
This data is from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) whose mission it is to help people live healthier lives. EWG’s most recent report was taken from January 2019 through March 2019. So we have think that not much has changed since this last report. The EWG report also found 30 plus contaminants in tap water. In a lot of cases, according to the report by EWG, the amount of these contaminants in your water exceeds national averages. Some of these contaminants include Nitrate, Bromoform and Dibromoacetic acid (disinfectants used to treat drinking water) and Radium, among others. The amount of those contaminants far exceeds the EWG’s Health Guideline.
How can you fix this? There are a variety of solutions that you can employ to help curb some of these things in your drinking water. Of course the first thing that comes to mind is that maybe we need to invest in more bottled water? This is not the best course of action, because most plastic bottles are made from crude oil. Yes, the actual plastic bottles contain something called Microplastics, which may pose health risks. In addition, the environmental effects of purchasing the bottled water which can, depending on the brand, be 2000x more expensive than tap water, are of far greater harm.
