Overview
Legal does not necessarily equal safe.
- Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
- Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
- The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.
AquaPura's analysis shows 14 contaminant(s) detected in Clwsc Canyon Lake Shores's water exceed recommended health guidelines, though they may be within legal limits set by the EPA.
