| One quarter of
Americans don't drink
their tap water for health or aesthetic reasons, and Canada's Walkerton
tragedy confirmed people's worst fears when seven died from
contaminated
supplies.
This book is a
clearly written, straightforward
guide to North American tap water: what's in it, how it's treated,
whether
government regulations are strict enough, and whether consumers should
be concerned about what they're drinking. It includes chapters on
bottled
water and home filter systems, as well as obtaining, treating and
storing
private water supplies, and helpful resources.
