“Do you remove prescription drug contaminants?”
We do not. Nor do we need to. Our system is supplied by very deep wells. Our system is very small, 300 homes, and a couple of businesses. I just received my yearly report from the Cleveland water system. They do not remove pharms either. Their system gets water from “cribs” well off-shore in lake Erie. There have as yet been no testing schedules set, nor any MCLs determined re pharms, but the levels are in the parts per trillion, which are so inconceivably small that most people can’t comprehend them. Until the EPA decides what to do, and if there is any harm in these miniscule levels, no one knows what to do. I think the pharm industry will have to be involved in any solution, if indeed one is required. They need to make medicines that are better absorbed by the body, with much less “pass through” waste.
