Here at Quality
1st Plumbing, our number one goal is to help you go green with your home plumbing needs. And a big part of that is water conservation. While you are working to conserve the amount of water you use within your home or business, it’s also important to highlight the importance of our water supply, and how it affects our health and our lives.
This week, from May 2 – 8, the American Water Works Association and numerous other organizations such as the US Environmental Protection Agency are celebrating National Drinking Water Week, and bringing attention to our need to improve our nation’s public water infrastructure. Although we are lucky enough to have one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world, it’s also important to think towards the future to ensure that for generations to come.
Our two primary concerns for today are:
- The age of our water system
- The quality of the water
With many of the infrastructures 100 years old or more, replacement will be a top concern in the coming years. Pipes and water mains will crack or break, putting our water supply at risk of contamination. We’re also at risk for chemicals and other toxins contaminating our water sources, thus putting our health at risk for water related diseases and outbreaks.
Ultimately it all comes down to us as individuals. If we each do just one small thing to help conserve one of our most precious resources – water – we’ll guarantee a healthy future for all.
