August is National Water Quality Month—and if you’re like most homeowners in Keene or Hillsborough, you probably take it for granted that your tap water is clean and safe. But is it?
When you’ve been in the trades as long as I have, you learn that it all starts with water. Whether it’s a heating system or your morning cup of coffee—if the water isn’t clean, everything else suffers. That’s why we’re highlighting National Water Quality Month this August.
Here in Keene, NH, folks take pride in doing things right—and that should go for your home’s water quality, too. From rust stains and musty smells to full-blown contamination, we’ve seen it all. But we don’t just fix plumbing issues—we help protect your family’s health.
What’s Really in Your Water?
According to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, even water that looks clear can still carry contaminants. In 2023, Keene’s Consumer Confidence Report showed a few things worth watching—stuff like lead, copper, and total trihalomethanes. While these are regulated, long-term exposure matters.
- PFAS (aka “forever chemicals”)
- Disinfection byproducts
- Lead from older plumbing
- Chlorine, iron, and manganese
…can still sneak in. And while those levels might be “acceptable” by regulation, that doesn’t always mean they’re ideal for your family’s health.
