I get my water from the Point Marion Boro. I found that there are amounts of haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes, and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate that exceed the health guidlines. Epidemiological studies suggest that haloacetic acid exposure during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy may be linked to birth defects in newborns. Trialomethanes include:chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, and bromoform. Connection between trialomethanes and liver cancer has been found. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is a pollutant from rubber and industrial chemical factories it is also a leachate of PVC pipe. It is concidered a probable human carcinogen, or a cancer causing substance. I don't think my water tastes any different than bottled water. That is probably just me. The water at my house is often a strange color. Yesterday, for example, it was brownish tone. Last summer it was purple. It does concern me that the water often changes color. It made me curious as to what was in the water. Now, I know.
