This is a response to Chatlist entry #14 from Chatlist #3151 entitled “Pittsboro Water Supply”.
The subject of excessive trihalomethanes in the Pittsboro water supply has been popping up in the news and on the Chatlist periodically over the past two years. From conversations with our customers in Pittsboro, it does seem likely that the switch to chloramines will happen in the near future. This move should reduce the THM levels at the cost of having alternative chemicals in the water with yet unknown by-products and impacts on human health.
While we wait to see if action is taken on the governmental levels, everyone should be aware that the surest way to safeguard the water coming into your home is to take action into your own hands by investing in a whole house dechlorinator and/or a reverse osmosis drinking water system. The combination of these two systems will guarantee chemical free water throughout the house for bathing and washing and purified drinking water safe from all chemicals, bacteria, and metals for drinking and cooking needs.
We have helped many Chatham County residents with high quality non-electric Kinetico water treatment systems in their homes so they do not have to be worried about any perturbations in the Chatham County water supply. The Kinetico systems are totally non-electric and highly efficient – a truly Green Solution to a very important problem.
We would welcome the opportunity to help other Chatham County residents deal with these water quality issues. Please check out our website or give us a call.
