Water Treatment in Wilmington, NC
How’s your drinking water these days? Is it time to ask your plumbing company about water treatment and filtration?
Why We Need Water Treatment and Filtration
As you might know, there have been some problems with our Wilmington area drinking water recently.
In 2018, an alarm was raised by the discovery of a PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance) called GenX in the Cape Fear River. GenX is a potential toxin and byproduct from a nearby chemical manufacturing plant.
PFAS chemicals aren’t found in nature, and they can take a long time to break down in either the environment or the human body. They can build up in human and animal tissue and cause illness or congenital disabilities.
A year later, in 2019, more PFAS were found in the same river, very close to Wilmington’s drinking water intake. Unfortunately, polyfluorinated ethers like GenX aren’t eliminated by standard drinking water treatment.
