Municipal water quality solutions

Approximately 85% of the U.S. population receives water from community water systems. A typical American uses 80-100 gallons of water every day. If that sounds like a lot, consider that the total includes more than drinking water, but also the water used for washing, showers, hands, dishes, clothing, watering lawns, and waste disposal.

Although community water systems are required to meet the standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), these standards may not filter out enough to prevent health side effects, including skin, hair, and responsiveness to medications or prevent build-up and degradation of water-related appliances, including water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Plus, the network of pipes and pumps is aging and degrading, which can affect the water quality before reaching the tap.

How does water get to your home or business?

Typically, pipes bring the water supply from a facility that treats the water to your home or business. A well-built and maintained distribution system of pipes helps ensure its quality.

The water we consume and use every day comes from two sources: groundwater and surface water.

• Groundwater: When rainwater or melting snow seeps into the ground, it collects in underground pockets called aquifers, which store the groundwater and form the water table. Groundwater usually comes from aquifers through a drilled well or natural spring.
• Surface Water: Surface water flows through or collects in streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and oceans - not underground like groundwater. Surface water can be beautiful, even pristine, but it isn't directly fit for drinking.

Raw and untreated water is obtained from an underground aquifer (usually through wells) or a surface water source, such as a lake or river. It is pumped or flows to a treatment facility. Once there, the water is pre-treated to remove debris such as leaves and silt. Then, a sequence of treatment processes, including filtration and disinfection with chemicals or physical processes, eliminates disease-causing microorganisms.

When the treatment is complete, it goes through a distribution system, where water flows out into the community through a network of pipes and pumps.

The cost of untreated municipal water

Unless you have a well, you likely have to pay something for the water you use. A typical U.S. household pays about $1.50 per 1,000 gallons or $0.0015 per gallon. That adds up to about $18 monthly for a family of four using 100 gallons per person daily. A water treatment system can save you money on more than just your bills.
