How to keep your drinking water safe
To find out if tap water is safe for you and your pet, consider these recommendations:
1- Obtaining clarification from the authorities about the tap water, whether the authorities allow people to drink from the tap water normally or not.
Before the water flows from the tap, it is treated in a treatment plant. So the local water treatment plant in your city or county has a water quality report.
There may be things that the water treatment plant knows and works on, the water treatment plants are regulated at the general level of the provinces.
And stricter laws and oversight. Where the authorities in your country will publish a leaflet explaining the water quality periodically. And whether it is safe to drink or not.
2- Test your household water supply
Solid contaminants cannot be seen or smelled, which is why testing your water is important. Tap water testing is still something consumers should do to find out what might be in the water
You should test your water if you notice any sudden changes in odor, taste, or color. And if you cannot test the water, or know what the problem is, we do not recommend that you drink from it or give it to pets
