It is a common misconception that city water does not need to be treated. We are lucky to live in a part of the world where most municipal water is clean and safe to drink. But, that does not mean the water is ideal for your family.
City Water Treatment
City water is required to meet certain standards for health and safety. But, that does not mean that it removes all potential contaminants. Let’s take a look at common complaints of city water that could be preventing you from enjoying quality water at home.
3 Common Complaints of City Water
#1: Your water tastes like a swimming pool. Chlorine is added to water during treatment to disinfect and it does this incredibly well. While this makes water safe to drink, once it reaches your house, you no longer need the chlorine in your water.
#2: You have hard water. As many as 85 percent of American homes have hard water. Hard water is caused by calcium and magnesium, which the municipal water treatment does not remove. Hard water causes:
- Limescale buildup on your faucets.
- Dry skin and flat hair.
- Lower water pressure due to clogged pipes.
- White, chalky residue or spots on dishes.
- Clothes and linens that feel rough and look dull.
#3: Fear of contaminants. You may be concerned about what can sneak into your drinking water. Even after going through a water treatment facility, microorganisms, nitrates, arsenic, lead, and copper can still be found in city water.
