Clean Water: A Long Journey from the Source to Our Tap

We turn the faucet and it's always there. CLEAN, SAFE AND ABUNDANT. Water, the essence of life. We use it every day, but we rarely think about the fact that it's been through a complex journey and many changes before it gets to our home.

Pennsylvania's SOURCE WATER comes from surface water like our rivers, lakes and streams or from groundwater, the aquifers that lie beneath the earth. Water suppliers tap into these sources and treat the water before delivering it to us, ready to drink. This SOURCE WATER is affected by what happens on the land around it, and although we don't mean to, our daily activities often end up polluting our most essential resource.

I'm just baffled as to why we're told tap water is safe to consume. Yes, it may be free from pollutants that affect our short term health; but what are the long term health consequences? The chemical process of cleaning water is shocking.

Did it explain the process of water gets from source to our tap? NO. One dislike from me.
