How safe is the Water?

How safe is the water?
With many towns now bringing city water to its residence one has to wonder how much better it is than well water. People do not know what is being added to the water in the pumps that are supplying it. How safe do you feel with chemicals being added to the water instead of receiving it the natural way through the ground? Research has been done since 2004 by The Environmental Working Group that answers some of these questions. They conducted their research and found that in 48,000 communities across 45 states were contaminated. Not every community was tested which makes these numbers seem very large. There were over 316 contaminants found in the tap water with over half of them not regulated by the EPA. This makes you wonder what is in the water you are drinking and should we start drinking bottled water. Click on the water to see how your town ranks. We should take better precautions and have stricter guidelines to stop this from happening. City water seems very unhealthy for us not only do we have to pay for it instead of just getting it out of your personal well but it has many chemicals in it. This is why we should just stick to regular wells with filters for areas of stable water supply.
