BETTER WATER. BETTER LIFE.
Certified Water Test in Toronto
As water makes 70% of the human body, the importance on its quality can never be emphasized enough. The City of Toronto pumps more than one billion litres of water every day to ensure that everybody has access to clean, safe drinking water. The water is also tested every 6 hours to ensure it meets the strict standards of the Government of Canada, Province of Ontario, and Toronto Public Health. Although tap water in Toronto is drinkable and safe for consumption, there are various types of chemical and physical elements present in it, which affects our everyday life in more ways than we think.
What’s in your tap water?
Before the water is pumped for distribution at the four water treatment plants in Toronto, Chlorine, Fluoride, Ammonia and Phosphoric acid is added for several reasons.
- Chlorine: Chlorine is used in the drinking water process to control bacteria, algae, and viruses.
- Fluoride: Flouride is added to drinking water to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
- Ammonia: To maintain the level of chlorine.
- Phosphoric acid to control corrosion from the lead pipes affecting the water.
Additionally, there could be other elements present in Toronto’s tap water which makes it hard, and even unhealthy. For example:
- Lead: Tap water can potentially be contaminated from lead getting into the water from pipes. Even ”lead-free” pipes can contain as much as 8% lead.
- Nitrate: Nitrate from fertilizers, septic systems, etc. gets into the underground water.
- Calcium, magnesium, and sulphate may also be present in tap water.
