There are two very serious issues to consider when you think about Home Water Quality and Safety. Drinking water can be a source of potentially serious bacterial and chemical contaminants which can lead to severe health problems and even death. Tap water from the kitchen sink or bath can also be a source of deadly contamination particularly from gasoline and its derivatives. In addition, scalding is a very real concern with tap water, especially in infants, children, and the elderly.
