Check Your Homes Water During Water Quality Month

East Brunswick, N.J. (PRWEB) August 05, 2014

Gold Medal Service, an award-winning heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, drain cleaning, and waterproofing service company serving all of New Jersey, encourages area homeowners to make sure their own water supply is clean, and to take steps to avoid polluting municipal water supplies, during National Water Quality Month in August.

Water is one of the most important substances on the planet, so its important that everyone has access to clean water, both in and out of their homes, said Mike Agugliaro, Gold Medal Service co-founder. Since August is National Water Quality Month, its a good time to have a plumbing expert assess the water quality in your home, and learn the steps you can take to minimize your impact on your municipal water supply.

A plumbing services expert from Gold Medal Service can install a water conditioner or a filtration and purification system. These systems make the water that circulates through a home as clean as possible, ensuring that it is safe for families to use for drinking, bathing, and cleaning. Purified water also minimizes the risk of illness, improves foods taste, and ensures that a home stays cleaner.

However, its also important for homeowners to do their part to protect their municipal water supply and the delicate ecosystems that each supports. Especially vital in coastal states like New Jersey, polluted rain runoff can lead to beach closures and fish kills from too much bacteria in the water. Polluted storm water can also contaminate local drinking water supplies.

The risk of pollution in water systems grows as populations surge, especially in urban parts of the state that have seen a lot of recent growth. In fact, 21 cities in New Jersey face a looming deadline to get permits by the end of this year, and submit plans to control and upgrade their sewer systems.

Clean Water Action recommends the following steps for homeowners in New Jersey, and nationwide, to reduce their impact on water systems:

By avoiding potential contaminants in your homes water supply, you keep the overall supply cleaner, which makes your drinking water better too, said Agugliaro. If youre concerned about the water quality in your home, call a Gold Medal Service expert to check it, and show you how to make it cleaner.
