Numerous articles have been written warning about the amount of impurities and contaminates that are in public drinking water supplies as well as the vulnerability of public water supplies to terrorist attack. We have spent centuries following the engineer’s creed that the solution to pollution is dilution. Our aquifers and reservoirs are now contaminated with harmful chemicals, pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
In addition to the water itself, the piping system of municipal sources are antiquated and in most cases over a century old (Remember Flint Michigan?). This also increases the opportunity for contaminates to be in your water through the infrastructure.
There are also numerous water main breaks that result in municipal water not being able to deliver water to your home. Fort Lauderdale was recently without water for 48 hours due to a water main break.
Here are just a few recent articles about tap and well water in the State of Florida:
