Typical City Drinking Water Pipe                                                                                                                    Rusty residue in US toilet 

Note:   This filthy pipe is a commonly found in municipal drinking water lines.

             The red clay and slimy scum becomes hardened over time and can’t be

             removed.

             CES has developed technology to economically remove this dirt, slim and scum

             before the water is pumped into pipes.

How serious is water contamination?                                                                                             

Here’s what you’re up against:

Fact: Millions of private and public wells have been tested for contaminants, but a five-year, $12 million, nationwide survey was conducted by the EPA and released in 1990. Based on the survey, the EPA estimates that 10.4% of community wells and 4.2% of rural domestic wells have detectable levels of at least one pesticide.

Fact: The U.S. Geological Survey has pin pointed sources of contamination in every state. Over 2,119 pollutants is commonly found in US rivers and ends up in our drinking water.

Fact: Every bottled water isn’t necessarily without contamination. Some bottled water isn’t regularly monitored. In 1990, a bottled water by the Suffolk County, New York, health department tested bottled water sold in the county and found that 9 of 88 brands tested did not meet state and federal drinking water standards.

Fact: Approximately 75% of U.S. households have chlorinated water. In 1987 a study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, the Food and Drug Administration, and the EPA found increased risk of bladder cancer with long-term consumption of chlorinated drinking water. This is believed to be associated with the formation of disinfection byproducts in water from chlorine, such as THMs.

Fact: According to EPA estimates. 40 million Americans are exposed to lead in water well above the EPA’s proposed maximum contaminant allowances.

Fact: Virtually everyone has some level of radon in their water. The national average is 200 to 600 picocuries per liter. At these levels, scientists estimate the risk of developing cancer from radon ingestion is greater than the risk of cancer from most other regulated contaminants found in drinking water.

Fact: Giardia Lamblia cysts have become the most common waterborne disease in the United States. Although reporting is voluntary, more than 23,000 cases caused by this parasite were reported between 1960 and 1980. The rate of outbreaks is increasing.

Fact: Major outbreaks of disease caused by Cryptosporidium oocysts were reported in Texas in 1985, in Georgia in 1987, and England in 1989. A limited sampling of western U.S. waters found this parasite in 28% of treated drinking water samples tested. 

We offer the only practical solution to sewage overflow problems and oil spills.

Over 7,200 beaches in the US have been closed because of sewage spills.

 City sewage plants spill raw sewage into our river and lakes every time there is a heavy rain.
