Where Does Our City Water Come From?
Municipal water in The Triad primarily comes from surface water sources such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. These sources collect water through natural processes like rainfall and runoff, gathering in large catchment areas before being transported to water treatment facilities. Once at the treatment plant, the water undergoes several stages of purification, including filtration, sedimentation, and disinfection, to ensure it meets the safety standards set by regulatory authorities. The treated water is then distributed through an extensive network of pipes to homes, businesses, and other establishments throughout the city.

Common Contaminants in City Water Supplies
Despite the rigorous treatment processes that The Triad’s municipal water supply goes through, certain common contaminants are still regularly found in local water.
Our local water supply may contain:
- Chlorine and chloramine: Our city treatment facilities use these chemicals to disinfect water, but they can leave an unpleasant taste and odor and may cause dry skin and hair.
- Sediment: Particles like sand, silt, and rust can enter the water system from aging pipes and plumbing infrastructure, leading to cloudy water and potential damage to appliances.
- Lead: Aging pipes made of lead or fixtures containing lead solder can leach this toxic metal into tap water, posing serious health risks.
- Iron and manganese: While not harmful in small amounts, these minerals can stain laundry and fixtures and affect the taste of your water.
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): These chemicals, often from industrial processes or agricultural runoff, can contaminate water and are linked to various health concerns.
- Nitrates: Commonly from fertilizers, nitrates can contaminate groundwater and are particularly harmful to infants and pregnant women.
Supplementary purification and softening services from Dr. Johns can help you remove these impurities and give your family cleaner, healthier water.

Health Risks Associated with Untreated City Water
While most municipal water sources meet safety standards set by regulatory authorities, untreated city water can still pose health risks if certain contaminants are present. For example, chlorine and chloramine may irritate the skin and eyes or exacerbate existing health conditions. Sediment and rust particles from aging pipes can lead to cloudy water, which, although generally not harmful, can cause plumbing issues and reduce the lifespan of appliances. Moreover, VOCs from industrial runoff can have long-term health implications, including respiratory and skin problems.
Lead is another significant concern, especially in older homes with lead pipes or fixtures. Even at low exposure levels, lead can be toxic and lead to developmental issues in children and health problems in adults. Another common contaminant, nitrates, typically enter the water supply through agricultural runoff and can be particularly harmful to infants, causing a condition known as methemoglobinemia, or “blue baby syndrome.” Understanding the potential risks associated with untreated city water allows you to proactively protect your home.
