Smart Living Water Purification of Joplin, MO
We Know and Fix Joplin’s Drinking Water Problems
Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
According to the Enviromental Working Group, Joplin’s public drinking water contains 26 total contaminates and 11 of those identified contaminates exceed the EWG Heath Guidlines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have just been updated for the first time in nearly 30 years. And enforcement of the new standards won’t take effect for nearly 10 more years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to take matters into your own hands. Choose the correct water purification system for your home to provide clean, fresh, pure, safe water for your entire family.
Legal ≠ Safe
The federal government’s legal limits are not health-protective. There is even a provision that the EPA can take financial costs into account when setting new safety standards. If someone can “prove” it would be too expensive to fix the problem, then the EPA will just ignore the problem.
Until they can’t anymore.
That’s how we got the “updated” lead standards in 1996. The risks were proven to be too great to ignore any longer.
The EPA just set a new tap water standard for the first time in almost 30 years to address the harmful effects of PFAS and PFOAS. The risks became to great to ignore. These new standards won’t take effect for another 5-10 years and penalties for not following them are minimal.
