The town that had incredible difficulty with lead contamination has recently finalized a potential solution to their water problem\u2014A $17-million dollar pipeline to import healthy water from Genesee County. Eager to never repeat the mistakes of the past, Flint officials have commenced thorough testing of drinking water. These tests will take approximately two weeks to yield results, though they can detect upwards of 35 different hazardous chemicals. The state has begun to accept volunteers interested in conducting these tests in any interested household. Hopefully, this testing will ensure that treatment plants are effective and meet all health criteria. Maybe soon the town that made water quality a national issue may finally have clean drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;CTA &#8211; PIONEER&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#d2e2f4&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|12px|12px|12px|12px&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3747&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HDR&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Open Sans|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>NOW REMOVES ARSENIC!<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb admin_label=&#8221;CALL-TO-ACTION&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>PIONEER<\/strong> is the First of its Kind Whole-House Lead, Cyst &amp; PFOA\/PFOS Removal System and now PIONEER Removes Arsenic! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enpress.com\/site\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about this revolutionary system.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new water quality test has been launched in Michigan.

In their recent study, they found that many prolonged droughts can cause a higher risk of exposure to arsenic in well water. Maine, New England, the Midwest, and the Southwest are all areas whose arsenic levels are regularly higher than the federal level allows. Although municipal water supplies are carefully monitored, private well water is not. This can be a danger to Americans because over 43 million people rely on private well water. A previous study revealed that somewhere between 1.5 and 2.9 million people are drinking water with unsafe levels of arsenic, and this number may increase to over 4 million in case of a drought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased levels of arsenic may be caused by a decrease in groundwater levels, which causes changes in water chemistry. There are also some human responses to droughts, such as using ground water rather than surface water, which may also affect exposure. The number of droughts is expected to increase as a result of climate change, exposing even more Americans to unsafe drinking water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arsenic is highly dangerous because it causes a wide variety of health issues, and is odorless, colorless and tasteless - making it undetectable without a test. To help combat this issue, many states which are at high risk for droughts have programs to provide private well owners with arsenic tests. Although not all testing is free, these programs help make it affordable since it is recommended to test water every 3-5 years. By increasing awareness, doing additional research, and regularly testing water we can fight this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[64,57,146,145,144,104,147,162,49,160,97],"class_list":["post-3946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news","tag-contamination","tag-drinking-water","tag-flint","tag-health-impacts","tag-investigation","tag-lead","tag-michigan","tag-testing","tag-water-quality","tag-water-systems","tag-water-treatment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Flint Michigan Receives Rigorous Water Testing Service<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new water quality test has been launched in Michigan.
