Saratoga Springs Tap Water

In 2006, Thomas McTygue then commissioner of public works, signed a document explaining the annual drinking water quality report. In the report it was stated that, after analyzing the water, there was found barium which was admitted into the water probably from discharge of drilling waste and from metal refineries. Also included in the list was copper and lead which lead from the erosion of household plumbing and natural deposits. Nitrate was also found in the water which came from runoff of fertilizer use and leaching of septic tanks. There are also radioactive contaminants including Radium 226 & 228?

Though New York State deemed this not a violation because they were of decent proportions, did you realize that you were drinking lead every time you drank a glass of water? How about putting fertilizer into your system, or even some poo? How could that be safe? or even tasty?

It can't. The document even says that many people may be vulnerable to disease "causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water" and that people "should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water."

Saratoga Springs residents need something different, and that is where Filtra comes in. We would provide a safe and refreshing way to drink water out of the taps that we have locally Our filters will be able to remove the contaminants that is found in Saratoga tap water and be able to keep our community safe.
