Does drinking Hudson River water pose risks to human health?
Any water delivered by United Water will be subject to science-based health regulations and must meet or exceed the standards for drinking water set forth by the state health department and the federal Environmental Protection Agency. By government mandate, water providers must demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatments that they intend to use before one drop of water can be delivered from any source. Unless our regulatory agencies consider it safe, it won’t be delivered. Thanks to the good work of environmentalists and the State of New York, the Hudson River is cleaner than it has been in decades, and with advanced technology we will be able to provide Rockland customers with a new water supply that is pure and absolutely safe to drink.
