Drinking Water

What's the Problem?

How do you know if your water is safe to drink?

You can’t taste, smell, or see contaminants. When present, these often include  lead, PFAS or toxicity from algae in your water.

The only way to know for sure is to test your water using preventative home safety and by advocating for better regulation.

Home Safety

  • Test your water & learn more about where it comes from.
  • Understand your Consumer Confidence Reports (aka Water Quality Reports) and compare to EWG.
  • Visit each issue webpage using the blue buttons below to learn more about these problems as well as more information on drinking water contaminants:

Advocacy

  • Contact your local, state, and federal officials to educate them on drinking water issues.
  • Support local grassroots action on water issues – or start a movement yourself! 
  • Local orgs can apply for grants to support local advocacy projects.
