Important facts to know about water quality safety:
The EWG teaches that legal water levels are not necessarily safe. Federal guidelines have not been updated in almost 20 years, and do not reflect the latest health guidelines. If you want to ensure healthy drinking water for your family, it’s up to you to learn about your local water supply, and take the steps necessary to remove potentially harmful contaminants.
