Is Potability Right For You?
In an era where environmental dynamics are rapidly changing and urban infrastructure is aging, the sanctity of drinking water can no longer be taken for granted.

The Crux of Water Potability Testing
Evaluating the Need for Potability Testing: Key Questions
Discoloration can indicate the presence of heavy metals like iron or manganese, or rust from aging pipes.
Aging pipes, especially in buildings from before 1990, are prone to corrosion, leading to contaminants leaching into the water.
Vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly are at higher risk from contaminated water, which can lead to developmental issues, neurological conditions, and other severe health problems.
Older infrastructure is often equipped with lead pipes or soldering, posing a significant risk of lead contamination.
Recurring instances of illnesses can indicate a systemic problem with the water supply.
Proximity to past or present industrial sites can raise the risk of contamination from industrial processes.
These may be indicators of contamination from a variety of organic or inorganic substances.
Children are particularly susceptible to the effects of heavy metals and other contaminants. That is why we created this parents guide for lead in drinking water.
Construction and repairs can dislodge contaminants that were otherwise settled or cause breaches in water integrity.
