Is your drinking water safe?

A non-profit, consumer advocacy group, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), analyzed almost 20 millions records from state water officials for the period 2004 to 2009. They have compiled a national drinking water database which allows you to enter a zip code or water company name to access EWG’s analysis of your community’s water.

The group enlists its own team of scientists, engineers, policy experts, lawyers and computer programmers who examine government data, legal documents, and scientific studies. They also undertake their own laboratory tests to expose potential threats to your health and to the environment. For more information, you can access their website: www.ewg.org/tapwater.
