How Your Plumber Provides Clean Water
The first thing that you should investigate is what your pipes are made of. If they pre-date 1980, it is possible that they contain lead, which can leach into your drinking water. To reduce this significant risk, replace these pipes with either copper or PVC pipes. Copper is useful in resisting bacteria, viruses, and germs.

As an extra safety measure, install a water filtration system. While this will not necessarily remove some of the more dangerous toxins if your water is contaminated, it will improve your overall water quality. Some common water filtration technologies are reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems. It depends on what the mineral makeup of water is to determine what system best suits you.
