TESTING & IDENTIFYING SOURCES OF DRINKING WATER CONTAMINATION
At Water-Genics, we are committed to providing safe, clean, and reliable drinking water to all our customers. Access to high-quality drinking water is vital for the health and well-being of every individual. Our team of experts works tirelessly to monitor, test, and improve water quality, ensuring that your tap water meets or exceeds all regulatory standards.
COMMON DRINKING WATER CONCERNS
Here’s a summary of Common concerns regarding drinking water:
- Lead, Lithium and Copper Contamination
- Lead and copper contamination in drinking water can occur when water corrodes pipes and plumbing fixtures containing these metals. We actively monitor and address these risks, implementing corrosion control methods and conducting regular testing to ensure safe drinking water.
- Water Taste and Odor Issues
- Sometimes, drinking water may develop an unpleasant taste or odor. This can be caused by natural minerals, treatment processes, or seasonal changes in the water source. Our team investigates and treats these issues promptly, ensuring that your water remains clean and fresh.

HEALTH PROBLEMS LINKED TO LEAD EXPOSURE
CHILDREN
Children are particularly susceptible to lead exposure due to their developing nervous systems. Lead exposure in children can lead to
- A decrease in IQ
- Attention problems
- Impaired academic performance.
Research shows that for every 5 μg/dL increase in blood lead levels, children may lose 1-3 IQ points (Lanphear et al., 2005). Furthermore, about 500,000 children in the U.S. have blood lead levels above the CDC’s reference value of 5 μg/dL (CDC, 2019).
ADULTS
Lead exposure in adults is linked to
- Cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension
- An increased risk of stroke and heart disease
- Reproductive health issues in both men and women, causing reduced sperm count and motility in men and increasing the risks of miscarriage and premature births in women (EPA, 2019).
Men seem to be more susceptible to cardiovascular effects, particularly in occupational settings where lead exposure is higher (Navas-Acien et al., 2007).
OUR APPROACH TO WATER SAFETY
We employ a comprehensive approach to water quality, combining advanced technology and rigorous testing to prevent contamination and ensure the safety of your drinking water. This includes:
CORROSION RISK ASSESSMENTS
We conduct regular assessments of the water distribution system to identify areas at risk for corrosion, helping prevent harmful substances from entering the water supply.
RECCOMENDATIONS
We believe in keeping our customers informed. Detailed water quality reports are published regularly, providing insight into the safety and status of your drinking water.
REAL-TIME WATER MONITORING
Using cutting-edge remote sensors and monitoring tools, we track water corrosivity in real time to detect potential problems early and take immediate action.
