Have you had your water tested?

Everything from old pipes to chemical toxins could contaminate your drinking water, costing you thousands in home repairs and your family’s safety. According to the Chicago Tribune, “more than 8 of every 10 Illinoisans live in a community where brain-damaging lead was found in the tap water of at least one home during the past six years.”

Your city cannot guarantee safe water.

Chicago still has more than 400,000 lead service lines hooked up to homes, the largest inventory of toxic lead connections in the country.

Bottled water isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Most bottled water barely exceeds the standards your city places on tap water, and it produces an incredible amount of environmental pollution.

Consumer water filters only take care of some contaminants.

Fridge and sink filters are good at getting rid of some impurities like calcium, but don’t remove bacteria or viruses, and only work if regularly replaced.
