M5.4 Blog about your Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) and water quality
When searching on the website provided, the water source for my city did not come up. I did search on Google for TID since that is our water source and it is the only one we have where I live. The report that I found was from 2017, and it contained information which shocked me! There were radio actives found in our water and it stated that they come from natural deposits. Also, Tetrachloroethylene found in our water which states on the report that it comes from factories, dry cleaners, and auto shops. I personally thought that we have clean water, but we do use a filter and this is a recent change that we have made at my house. We did use bottled water for a long time, but have made a change to filtering our water through the fridge, and I am glad we made this change!!

I buy a lot of water bottles. I don't have a filter because my sink isn't really compatible with getting one. The water where i live is good, but I agree with you that filtering water is a good practice to adopt. i guess since we are on the go so much, we don't really think about these things! Good job on making this change!
ReplyDeleteI encountered a similar problem when searching for San Francisco's CCR, only to learn that the city-county apparently creates its own report. It's available on the SFDPH website but not the CCR database for some reason. I believe this is because the water is sourced from outside of so far away, directly from the Hetch-Hetchy Reservoir.
