Is my Water Safe?
Regardless of its source, all water must pass through the City’s treatment plant, where it undergoes various chemical processes to become drinking water. This treated water is then distributed to the population through an aging pipe network —often decades old— constructed from materials such as lead, asbestos, and other harmful substances like PFAS and PFOS. These contaminants can leach into the water from the surrounding soil, originating from both environmental pollution and natural sources contamination.
We are experts in comprehensive water management solutions.
While certain physical characteristics of water—such as color, odor, and taste—can provide obvious clues about its safety, they are not enough to determine its overall quality. Many harmful contaminants are invisible to the senses. That’s why our water specialists offer a free on-site analysis of your water to identify any potential risks. If needed, they will collect a sample for laboratory testing (mainly if it is well water) to precisely determine the presence of organic contaminants, minerals, or chemicals that may affect your water quality. Based on the results, we’ll recommend the most effective solution to ensure your water is completely safe and healthy for your family.​
You should consider testing your water if you notice any of the following signs:
​
-
White stains or residue on glasses and dishes
-
Calcium buildup or scale on faucets and fixtures
-
Dry hair or skin after showering
-
Skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, or irritation
-
Unpleasant or metallic taste in drinking water
-
A rotten egg smell (often caused by sulfur)
-
Rust stains on sinks, tubs, or appliances
-
Difficulty cleaning bathrooms or kitchens
-
Corroded or clogged pipes
​
Even if none of these symptoms are present, your water may still contain harmful contaminants such as radon, lead, PFAS, or other invisible impurities. These substances have no color, taste, or smell, making them impossible to detect without proper testing.
That’s why it’s highly recommended to have your water tested annually—it’s the only reliable way to ensure your water is truly safe for you and your family.
