Between growing populations and declining water sources, a compromise needs to be made somewhere. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahwatukee.com\/news\/article_ad379f8c-7d8b-11ee-aca7-abcc1a3d7bdf.html\">State Department of Environmental Quality<\/a>, the compromise will involve a direct recycling of sewage water. A notion that on first glance will send a chill up anybody\u2019s spine isn\u2019t quite as bad once they consider the treatment process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The deputy DEQ director makes the point that \u201cthere\u2019s no new water\u201d. Waste water is used, discharged, and then absorbed into the ground. From there it eventually evaporates into the clouds before falling again as rain. The proposed recycling will streamline the process to no longer need nature\u2019s involvement while maintaining quality. So, while the initial pitch is not the strongest, it may be Arizona\u2019s best path forward to clean and available water.<\/span><\/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; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|12px|12px|12px|12px&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3747&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HDR&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Open Sans|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>PIONEER REMOVES LEAD, CYST &amp; PFOA\/PFOS<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb content_max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;CALL-TO-ACTION&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|20px||20px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>PIONEER<\/strong> is the First of its Kind Whole-House Lead, Cyst &amp; PFOA\/PFOS Filtration Solution! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enpress.com\/site\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about this revolutionary product.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona\u2019s best path towards clean water may be through recycling the dirtiest water available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Geological survey conducted research regarding different effects of droughts. 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":[57,51],"class_list":["post-5584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news","tag-drinking-water","tag-water-system"],"yoast_head":"<!--
