Millions in U.S. Drink Dirty Water. Published: Dec.7,2009
More than 20% of the nation's water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last 5 years, according to a New York Times analysis of federal data. Since 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage. Studies indicate that drinking water contaminants are linked to millions of instances of illness within the United States each year. Scientific research indicates that as many as 19 million Americans may become ill each year due to the parasites, viruses and bacteria in drinking water. The E.P.A. has reported that more than three million Americans have been exposed since 2005 to drinking water with illegal concentrations of arsenic and radioactive elements, both of which have been linked to cancer at small doses. In some areas, the amount of radium detected in drinking water was 2,000 percent higher than the legal limit. Public water supplies in 42 U.S. states are contaminated with 141 unregulated chemicals for which the U.S. E.P.A. has never established safety standards. Another 119 regulated chemicals—a total of 260 contaminants altogether—were found by the environmental group in a two-and-a-half-year analysis of more than 22 million tap water quality tests. The tests, which are required under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, were conducted at nearly 40,000 utilities that supply water to 231 million people.
What if you could place in their home a whole house water filter/conditioner that takes care of most problems, has NO maintenance or filters to buy and has a Limited Lifetime Warranty? As the sole distributor in Georgia you can set up dealers across the state who must buy from you. Tremendous earning potential!
