Exposing the Problem and Its Consequences

In Colorado Springs, the majestic journey of water from the Rocky Mountains to our taps symbolizes a blend of natural splendor and engineering marvel. Yet, hidden beneath this marvel lie unseen threats—PFAS, lead, and disinfection byproducts—quietly infiltrating our daily lives. These are not mere entries in a report; they are harbingers of health issues that span from affecting our youth's vitality to compromising the elderly's well-being.

The water we consume daily, which we also provide to our children, might be carrying these harmful contaminants. PFAS, notorious for its environmental and bodily persistence, has been linked to various health conditions including immune system effects, cancer, and thyroid disease. Lead, even at minimal levels, can severely hinder a child's brain development and IQ. Disinfection byproducts, despite their necessity for eradicating harmful organisms, pose risks of cancer and reproductive issues over extended exposure periods.

The insights offered by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Tap Water Database serve as a crucial wake-up call, compelling us to face the invisible risks present in our tap water. How does it feel to know that the water you trust could be undermining the health of your loved ones? It's a disconcerting realization that fuels a profound concern for our families and future generations, urging us to seek solutions and take action, not only for our health but for the continued vitality and protection of our youth.
