Blue Spring Living Water: What is in Our Tap Water in the United States?

Every single day the phrase “what is in our tap water” is Googled hundreds if not thousands of times.

Water is THE most important element to our survival and we have every right to know what is not only going into our own bodies - but the bodies of our children.

The thing is, once you go down the rabbit hole of this question, you could be sorry you did.

Public Water Systems in the United States

Public water systems in the United States are mandated to adhere to the standards and regulations established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

These regulations ensure the safety and quality of drinking water for the public.

However, it's important to note these regulations do not extend to privately owned wells or other individual water systems.

Owners of private wells bear the responsibility of ensuring their water is free from contaminants.

The Quality of Drinking Water is CRITICAL to Human Health

The quality of drinking water can significantly impact human health.

Contaminants present in water sources can lead to various health issues, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders.

Certain demographic groups, such as infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of contaminated water.

For instance, elevated levels of lead in drinking water can pose serious health risks, especially for pregnant women and young children.

To safeguard public health, federal law mandates that water systems maintain certain contaminant levels within set standards.

The Safe Drinking Water Act

The EPA plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of public water supplies across the United States.

The Safe Drinking Water Act, enacted by Congress in 1974, grants EPA the authority to establish and enforce standards for drinking water quality.

This legislation empowers EPA to oversee states, localities, and water suppliers in implementing these standards.

Amendments to the Act in 1986 and 1996 further bolstered protections for drinking water and its sources, encompassing rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells.

Contaminants can infiltrate drinking water through various sources, including naturally occurring chemicals and minerals, local land use practices such as pesticide and fertilizer application, industrial processes, sewer overflows, and malfunctioning wastewater treatment systems.

The EPA regulates numerous contaminants known to pose risks to human health, ensuring that water meets specific standards to mitigate these risks.

Living Water: Water Filtration Systems

Home water filtration systems offer a means of addressing concerns about water quality.

Different filters serve different functions, ranging from improving taste to removing harmful chemicals or microorganisms.

It's essential to select a filtration system tailored to specific needs and concerns regarding water quality.

In cases where removal of specific contaminants like the parasite Cryptosporidium is necessary, specialized filtration methods such as reverse osmosis or filters certified for Cryptosporidium removal under NSF International Standard #53 are recommended.

Regular monitoring and testing of water quality by public water systems help ensure compliance with regulatory standards and prompt action in the event of any violations or risks to public health.

Consumers can access information about water quality in their area through annual Consumer Confidence Reports provided by their water supplier or by contacting their local health department.

Testing of household water can be arranged through state-certified laboratories, with costs varying depending on the contaminants being tested.

Any changes in water taste, color, or odor should be reported to the public water system for investigation and remediation.

So take out your water bill and whoever you are paying call them up and ask them how to access their water report, by law that information should be readily available and they should direct you to it.

Blue Spring Living Spring Water - FREE from Harmful Contaminants

You want to know what is in our water? Water.

The greatest element of Blue Spring Living Water is its freedom from any harmful contaminants (chemicals or biological agents).

While it is actually what is NOT found in Blue Spring Living Water that makes it an ideal drinking water, our water does have naturally occurring qualities that are benefits to health.

Neutral pH of 7.1

A high pH value is hugely important in drinking water. To maintain good health, an ideal drinking water has a high pH balance. In general, water with a pH lower than 7 is considered acidic, and with a pH greater than 7 is considered basic. The pH of pure water is 7.

Blue Spring Living Water has a pH balance of 7.

Calcium / Magnesium

Magnesium is important for bone formation. It helps assimilate calcium into the bone and plays a role in activating vitamin D in the kidneys. Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones.

Calcium and magnesium are important for maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis.

Magnesium is necessary to maintain the health of muscles, including the heart, and for the transmission of electrical signals in the body.

Water Testing

Our water is routinely analyzed by two independent scientific laboratories to assure that no harmful chemicals or biological elements are contained in the water.

These scientific tests check for the presence of hundreds of harmful chemicals and organic products to assure safety for our consumers.

In every test performed (over many years), not one harmful element has ever been discovered in Blue Spring Living Water.

Blue Spring Living Water

300 years in the making, our spring water comes from the Blount County’s Great Blue Spring, fed by the Bangor Aquifer. 

It took three centuries for the spring water flowing to the surface to make its way through limestone rock to the surface.

Our spring water has a high pH value, along with calcium, magnesium and silica, a mix that can promote muscle and bone health and flush toxins from the body.

It is tested weekly and is filtered twice - using a micro filter and ozone filtering - before bottling.

It is one of the few North American waters truly bottled at the source of a natural spring. It is never processed with nothing added in.

In fact, Blue Spring Living Water is naturally mineral-enriched and has a perfect 7.0 pH balance; guaranteed fresh, pure, delicious, healing water.
