The honest truth about local water

Your tap water passed its test. That doesn't mean it's safe.

"Legal" and "healthy" are not the same thing. Supplies across our area test positive for hardness, chlorination byproducts, and in some towns radium and nitrates - at levels within federal limits but above modern health guidelines.

Within limits isn't the same as cleanFree in-home test

What's actually in it

"Passing" hides a lot

Federal limits were set decades ago. Public-health guidelines are far stricter - and your water can clear one while failing the other.

21

contaminants detected in St. Charles County area supplies, many above the stricter health guideline.

7.7

pCi/L of radium in Silex - the EPA limit is 5. The town was on bottled water for nearly two years.

8-19

grains/gallon of hardness across most of the area - linked to dry skin, dull hair, and eczema flare-ups.

What "legal" water still does

  • Chlorine and THMs steam right out of your hot shower
  • Radium and nitrates in untested rural wells
  • Hard-water scale on skin, hair, and fixtures
  • Iron staining and sulfur smell on well water
  • What treated water gives you

  • Chlorine and byproducts filtered out
  • Contaminants reduced to health-guideline levels
  • Soft water - better skin, hair, and appliances
  • Clean, great-tasting water from every tap
  • All contaminant levels referenced are within federal legal limits unless explicitly noted as a violation; "above guideline" refers to stricter non-binding public-health guidelines (e.g. EWG). Radium in Silex reflects a documented EPA maximum-contaminant-level exceedance. Your home's exact numbers are confirmed by a free in-home test.
