August is National Water Quality Month which means it’s the perfect opportunity for Michigan business owners, office managers, and facility leaders to take a closer look at the drinking water serving their teams, clients, and guests.
We often take tap water for granted, assuming that as long as it looks clear and smells fine, it’s completely pure.
However, municipal water quality can vary significantly from one city or county to another.
Understanding what is actually coming out of your tap is the first step toward providing cleaner, safer, and better-tasting water at work.
Uncover Your Local Water Quality with the EWG Tap Water Database
Want to know what’s in your local water supply? One of the best tools available for checking local drinking water is the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Tap Water Database.
The EWG database allows you to enter your ZIP code to instantly see a detailed breakdown of your local community water system.
It provides insights into:
- Reported Contaminants: A list of chemicals, heavy metals, and visual byproducts detected in municipal testing.
- Health Guidelines vs. Legal Limits: Comparisons between government regulations and recommended health guidelines for long-term exposure.
- Local Trends: Data specific to municipal water systems across Michigan.
It’s Simple to Take Action
You can easily learn more about what’s in your workplace drinking water by visiting the EWG website and entering your zip code. You’ll be able to get a helpful overview and transparent snapshot of your local water supply so that you can make informed choices for your workplace. ( Note: database results may not represent real-time water conditions)
This is a helpful resource available to everyone and it’s so easy to use!
Why Upgrade to a Bottleless Water Solution?
Once you know what’s in your tap water, the next question is how to elevate your workplace drinking water quality. Standard tap water often suffers from chlorination taste, and traditional 5-gallon bottled water coolers bring unnecessary heavy lifting, storage headaches, and plastic waste.
At Michigan Clear Water, we provide a smarter, cleaner alternative: bottleless water systems designed specifically for businesses throughout Michigan.
How Our Bottleless Systems Work
Instead of relying on plastic jugs, our systems connect directly to your existing water line and use advanced multi-stage filtration technology to purify water on demand:
Here’s what they remove:
- Contaminant Reduction: Advanced filters target chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, and organic compounds to drastically improve purity.
- Superior Taste & Clarity: Multi-stage filtration removes odor and off-tastes, delivering crisp, refreshing water every time.
- Endless Supply: Enjoy unlimited hot, ambient, or ice-cold purified water without running out or storing bulky plastic bottles.
- Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective: Eliminating single-use plastic jugs reduces your company’s environmental footprint while lowering ongoing drinking water expenses.
