In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are nervous about how connections from the outside world could expose their families to the threat of this severe upper respiratory disease. One question many people have is whether or not their tap water is safe to drink since municipal water systems are connected. Below, learn more information about the impact this virus has on your water, and whether or not you could benefit from water filtration. 

Is COVID-19 in My Tap Water? 

The path the coronavirus has taken has been very carefully tracked and studied, and researchers have found no threat lingering in municipal water systems. After careful testing, the EPA has stated that COVID-19 has not been found in any drinking water, and that tap water is safe to drink. Furthermore, water treatment specialists are considered essential workers and will continue to diligently check the water for any signs of trouble, regardless of what current or future business restrictions may be present. 

How Can Water Filtration Help? 

While water filtration is not necessary, it can remove other contaminants that can impact the smell or taste of your water. Water filtration can remove chlorine and chloramines from your water that water treatment plants add to sanitize the water. This will improve the taste of your tap water. Water filtration can also remove pesticides and other contaminants that may not be completely removed from your water source at the state level, making your water healthier.
