How Safe Is Our Drinking Water? You Won’t Want to Know.

An independent water-monitoring site – EWG.org has a page devoted to Sandpoint drinking Water. It leads off with this summary of our water:

An Environmental Working Group analysis of tap water tests from 1998 through 2002 shows that customers of Sandpoint Water Department drank water containing up to 11 pollutants, including one unregulated contaminant. Sandpoint Water Department is one of 65,000 water suppliers across the country wrestling with treating water polluted by sprawl, sewage, factory farms, and industry.

It goes on to list specific levels of containments in our drinking water. Some might say, what harm is it to add a little more, such as fluoride. Well, our position is to lower these containments, not increase them. What is in the water will end up in our and our kid’s bodies.
