Water Filters Blog: Water Quality & Water Filtration Systems

If you were ever curious about your city's water quality and how they comply with the EPA Water Quality Act, you can search the EPA for violations in your area.  Click to visit the EPA's Enforcemant and Compliance Drinking Water History database.  Here, you can search your city and check if they meet the EPA's water quality requirements for safe drinking water.  If there's a violation, you'll see it.  For example, some areas of Texas have had higher than normal arsenic levels in their ground water, which has also leached into the municipal water system.  If the arsenic goes higher than the EPA's MCL (maximum contaminant level) then they will be in violation, and the violation will be reported in this database.
