How much drug residue is in YOUR tap water?


I worked at a water treatment plant. It’s impossible to remove drug residue. It survives the evaporation cycle. That’s why I drink spring water. Not to mention the fact that they ad ammonia to the drinking water because ammonia extends the life of the chlorine so that the water is still chlorinated at the furthest ends of the water system. Not to mention flouride which when it comes in to be delivered to dress up in a Hazmat suit with a breathing mask apparatis just to receive the chmical into the plant. No thanks.

It’s a rigged game to some extent.

Potable Water as a utility, implies a common commodity produced at lease cost to a wide market.

Generally, economies of scale make bottled water a laughable response. Perhaps for emergency response until utilities are brought back on line, but even then, emergency storage should last several days of local demand.

8” to 20” pipelines will deliver 1-10 Million Gallons/Day (MGD).

PFAS in bottled water? I’d change bottled water suppliers immediately. No real excuse for PFAS in bottled drinking water.
