Discuss where your freshwater comes from in your community.* I am from Ohio and we have well water.** Perhaps it is supplied by the city or maybe a well. If water is supplied by the city, what is its source? What makes your water safe to drink? Check your city’s/town’s website to find the results of the most recent water tests. What do the results tell you about your local water? What do they tell you about your environment? Do you place water filters on your city water? Why?
If you do not have city water, but have a well, when was the last time you had a water test done? What were the results? What did the test tell you about your water? How often do you test your water? Have you seen changes in the test results over time? What do your water tests tell you about your environment? Do you have filters on your water? Why or why not?
Post the results of your findings, and in your response, discuss the following:
How do test results differ based on the source of water (private well or city source)?
Do water sources from the same regions have similar contaminants/issues, such as concentration of specific minerals?
Are there similarities in what is deemed acceptable or unacceptable by the municipal sources?
