The EPA Tap Water Cover-up

Municipal (Tap) water suppliers are quick to point out that they are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, because of that regulation, tap water is safe to drink.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The EPA merely sets arbitrary standards for contaminants in tap water and then tests against those minimum levels of contaminants.

But there is no scientific proof that the EPA standards are safe for your body. No one has assessed the medium and long term damage for lead, copper, arsenic, pesticides,MTBE, rocket fuel and other poisons permitted in tap water by EPA standards. And, the EPA has not even established testing standards for pharmaceuticals that are freely dumped into our water supply.

No wonder tap water smells and tastes terrible.

Go to the EPA home page and see for yourself. It makes interesting reading if you investigate it thoroughly.

As an alternative to contaminated tap water try purified water.

Bottled Water Local Delivery and Fuel Prices

The price of fuel is rising dramatically in the United States and the increases are expected to continue for the forseeable future. Many trucking companies and home delivery services have enacted a fuel surcharge in an attempt to pass on to the consumer higher fuel prices.

Many companies that deliver heavy goods like bottled water have already instituted fuel surcharges that are substantial.


You can get purified water delivery to your door and if you chose
a vendor wisely, you will not be affected by a fuel surcharge. Chose a vendor that produces a quality water product that is close to you home or office and often they will not charge a fuel surcharge if they already have a route in your neighborhood.

For example, in Northern Virginia where there is heavy density there is a purified water supplier that waives the fuel surcharge if the delivery is within 10 miles of their water processing plant.

So when considering a water supplier, make sure they provide 100% pure water and then look at the map. You can get a good delivered price if you are close to the source. .
