Water in the News
Statement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the 2011 National Drinking Water Week:
"The United States has one of the safest public drinking water supplies in the world. Tap water not only provides water for daily activities such as drinking, bathing, and cooking, it also benefits the entire community by providing water to serve businesses, schools, and hospitals, and to promote overall health. May 1-7, 2011, is Drinking Water Week, an annual observance whose theme Water: Celebrate the Essential underscores the many services provided by public drinking water systems in the United States.
"Disinfection and treatment practices, as well as the environmental regulation of water pollutants, have substantially improved domestic water quality during the past century and have led to a dramatic decrease in the incidence of waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever."
