Why Filter Your New York Water?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says more than 90 percent of Americans get their tap water from community systems that must adhere to safe drinking water standards.

If you are among the 90 percent whose tap water flows from a municipal or community supply, you may wonder why you should be concerned about water quality. After all, the supplier must maintain safe drinking water standards.

According to the CDC, your tap water generally is safe to drink but can become contaminated.

For example, a flood can cause sewage overflow, triggering a health department advisory to boil water. A malfunctioning wastewater treatment plant may taint the community water supply with bacteria. The CDC says pesticides, fertilizers, manufacturing processes, and inadequate water treatment may contribute to contamination.

Your own plumbing system may pollute your water supply. The water supply line to your Bellmore, NY, area home may be damaged and allowing dirt and bacteria to enter your system. Rust, sediment, and lead from deteriorating pipes and faucets can pollute the water you drink and use for cooking, laundry, and bathing.

Lead-tainted water can cause issues with the nervous and renal systems, and bacteria can lead to gastrointestinal problems.

Our expert plumbers at Chivalry Plumbing, Heating & Cooling can help you prevent contamination by keeping your plumbing system in top shape. Contact us to inspect your water lines.
