Drinking Water and Your Health

Description

In Canada, we are fortunate to have access to drinking water that is generally of very high quality. That said, no naturally-occurring water is 100% pure. Water picks up minerals and contaminants found in the soil or deposited from the air. It is disinfected to kill harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. It can leach metals and other substances out of the materials it comes into contact with in the municipal distribution system and in your home.
