Getting a cold drink from the garden hose on a hot summer’s day might strike a chord of nostalgia in some people’s minds. It used to be the norm and you may hear people claiming they used to drink from the garden hose and they turned out just fine. However, you shouldn’t drink water from your garden hose anymore. Below, we detail a few reasons why.

Regulations and Awareness

“We used to do it all the time!” Isn’t a good reason to keep doing things. Doctors used to smoke in their exam rooms and people used to drive without seat belts. It’s true that people used to drink from the garden hose all the time however water out of the garden hose was different when they were growing up.

The FDA regulates water to help keep the public healthy and water from the garden hose just doesn’t make the cut anymore.

Cleanliness is an Issue

First of all, there are plenty of critters  and bacteria that can make camp in your garden hose since it lives outside or in a garage or shed all the time. Waterborne bacterial infections can be easily transmitted through the water flow of your hose. Water from the hose may also contain chemicals that may not otherwise be present in tap water or bottled water. Your hose itself is made up of plastics and heavy metals that should never be ingested. Small pieces of debris from the hose are easily dislodged and could end up making you very sick over time. The pipes that carry water to your hoses aren’t necessarily up to code for drinking water and can also carry toxins and other dangerous elements.

Conclusion

It might be convenient on a hot day to take a sip from the hose but think twice before indulging in this nostalgic activity. Contact us today to get Silver Springs water delivered to your home so you have clean, fresh water at your fingertips all summer long!

Tecopa Residents Get Water Deliveries From Las Vegas

Residents in Tecopa, California are having their water delivered courtesy of a private company based in Los Angeles. The deliveries of the 5 gallon bottles of water are made by the local fire chief, Larry Levy and his partner.

The delivery program began back in 2013 after it was found that arsenic levels in local water were higher than recommended. There was also concern over the amount of fluoride. Tecopa is known for its hot springs, which has left the water unsafe to drink.

A water filtration system, which should resolve the problem, is due to be installed in August.

Las Vegas Water Park Operators Issue Reassurances

Las Vegas water park operators have issued reassurances over their safety. The comments were made following the tragic death of a 10-year-old at a water park in Kansas.

Shane Huish, the general manager at the Cowabunga Bay Water Park in Las Vegas is one water park operator who has spoken out. In comments published by the Reviewjournal.com, Huish stated that water slides are checked everyday. He added inspections are carried out of the water filtration, pumps and water flow regularly.

Lifeguards also check the slides every morning before the park opens to visitors.

Some Good News For Lake Mead

Levels of water at Lake Mead remain at all-time lows, but there is some good news, too. Conservation measures and restrictions mean that less water is now flowing out of Lake Mead. The latest updates indicate water levels are now predicted to increase by 6ft by January 2017.

The record low levels remain of concern. However, the more positive forecasts over future water levels mean  mandatory water restrictions now won’t be necessary in Nevada and Arizona.

Nevertheless, further measures are due to come into place to try and prevent Lake Mead’s levels from running too short.

New Straw for Las Vegas Water from Lake Mead

A project that has been in the works for over seven years has reached an exciting, and critical, milestone. The new straw constructed for Lake Mead has reached a point where it can be filled. The process will be slow and gradual to ensure the structure is sound, but it will begin in the very near future. This project has been considered insurance against the ever looming drought fears for the Las Vegas Valley. The project has touted a cost to the water authority of over $817 million. Considering 90% of drinking water is processed in from Lake Mead for Las Vegas valley residents, it was a much needed expenditure. We should be seeing a finalization to this project within the next couple of months. If you’re like many of our Silver Springs Water clients, your drinking water however is already conveniently delivered to your home or office.

A Day in the Life of Las Vegas Water

Who are those people who write tickets when you leave your sprinklers on and they overflow? A day in the life of a Las Vegas water cop and shows one of the reasons Las Vegas water usage has gone down so dramatically in the past years. Grass removal is another reason Las Vegas water consumption has gone down; incentives made that happen. Understanding the people behind these enforcement efforts helps people realize why they do what they do. A little education goes a long way and these water cops are just as much educators as they are law enforcers.

Sex sells. Las Vegas thrives on this concept which can be seen in casinos, billboards, and commercials both local to Las Vegas and about Las Vegas nationwide. A new round of campaigns encourages water conservation by making it sexy. From the marketing gurus who brought the world “What Happens Here, Stays Here” comes “There’s Nothing Sexier than Saving Water”. The logic behind these campaigns is sound. A viewer who sees, as is effected by, an ad claiming a short shower is sexy, the next time they turn on their taps, they’re going to think about that ad.
