You can’t trust the government to ensure your home’s water is clean. Although regulations make them test their water supply annually, that testing is done on the street – not inside your home. Between the street and your home are pipes, appliances, fixtures and countless other ways to contaminate water.
But what’s even worse is that what the government tells you about the water they’re providing isn’t always true. Take the story of Crestwood, Illinois, as an example. Crestwood was warned by officials in 1985 that the water contained dangerous toxic chemicals that could lead to serious health problems. State regulators claimed they’d supply water only from Lake Michigan instead of the local contaminated water. But this was a lie…
Instead, officials had been cutting corners on people’s health by mixing the contaminated well water with the cleaner stuff from Lake Michigan. Consequently, one woman’s son developed a severe heart condition and later died from complications. The woman herself was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Another woman’s child developed cancer – and so did she. Consequently, this story of cancer led to the investigation of water fraud.
Don’t fall victim to contaminated water and the host of illnesses that can come with it. A combination of annual water testing and the right water filtration system can keep you and your family safe.
