Be aware of your drinking water quality!

Drinking water-associated disease outbreaks from 2013-14 caused by 42 infectious pathogens were reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in two new reports. These outbreaks led to at least 1,006 cases of illness in 17 states, some leading to hospitalizations.

With an increase in outbreaks from 2011 to 2012 it is time to pay attention to the quality of your drinking water. Legionella is the cause of more than 57% of these outbreaks. This bacteria causes legionellosis, which is a less severe version of Legionnaire’s disease. It manifests as shortness of breath, cough, fever, muscle and headaches.

Though water systems frequently chlorinate before distributing it, the level of chlorination is not sufficient at times. The treatment, at times, does not make it all the way to the end of the system. If the bacteria are not properly treated before they leave the system, they can grow again. This growth causes the farthest regions of the distribution system to become contaminated once again.

Legionella is only one of the pathogens investigated by the CDC report.

Aging water treatment plant infrastructure is one of the major sources of this problem. A second problem is the source where the raw water comes from. These two issues don’t take into account the unreported dumping of toxic chemicals that may enter a water supply.
