Main Sources of Water
There are two main sources of water for homes: surface water and groundwater. Surface water is water that comes from lakes, rivers, and streams. Groundwater is water that is found underground in aquifers. Rainwater is a third source of water, but most of the water you receive in your home here in the United States comes from surface or groundwater.
How to Determine Where Your Water Comes From
If you live in an area with a public water supply, you can usually find out where your water comes from by looking at your water bill or contacting your water utility company. Your water utility company is responsible for ensuring that your water is safe to drink, no matter where it comes from. If you have a private well, you are responsible for testing your own water to ensure that it is safe. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be informed about the source of your water, how it is treated, and what is added to it.
Reasons to Care About Where Your Water Comes From
Knowing where your water comes from can help you make informed decisions about how to protect it. For example, if your water comes from a lake or river, you may want to support efforts to reduce pollution in those bodies of water. In addition, your body is made up mostly of water, and you can't survive without it. If your water is contaminated, it can affect your overall health and well-being. You should know what is in your water, and a simple home water test can let you know.
How to Have Cleaner Water
Having clean water is considered a basic human right. Here in the United States, we are extremely blessed to have access to clean drinking water and clean water to use for all of our other purposes. That being said, there are still chemicals and contaminants that can seep into your water that you should know about. NuvoH2O offers a top-rated home water filtration system that retains the healthy minerals in your water, while ridding your water of the not-so-healthy ones, such as any sediment, chlorine, iron, and other household chemicals. Your home's water is definitely one area you don't want to be complacent in.
