Tap water quality in High Point, North Carolina? Is it safe to drink?

The Water Quality in High Point, North Carolina is a topic of great importance for residents, as it has a direct impact on their daily lives. The local authorities and water utility in High Point ensure that water quality meets all federal and state regulations; however, there are always areas for improvement and things to be aware of.

Water Quality Problems:

Source: High Point's water supply is derived from various sources, including local reservoirs and groundwater. The primary sources are City Lake and Oak Hollow Lake. These surface water bodies are subject to various forms of contamination, which makes ongoing monitoring essential.
Testing and Standards: The water in High Point is tested regularly to ensure it meets the stringent standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). These tests identify the presence of contaminants such as lead, pesticides, and microbial pathogens, and ensure they are within safe levels.
Water Hardness: Similar to many areas that rely on groundwater, High Point has moderately hard water. This means that the water contains higher concentrations of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, hard water can lead to limescale buildup in plumbing fixtures and household appliances.
Common Concerns: Some of the concerns regarding High Point’s water quality include the occasional presence of disinfection byproducts, tastes or odors resulting from organic material in source waters, and aging infrastructure that may contribute to lead contamination. Residents sometimes report a chlorine-like taste or musty odor, especially after heavy rains which can disturb sediment in reservoirs.

To ensure the highest level of safety and water quality, residents of High Point are encouraged to use water purifiers and water softeners. These devices can effectively filter out contaminants and reduce water hardness, providing peace of mind and protecting household plumbing and appliances. While the city's water is generally safe for consumption, additional purification can enhance the taste and safety of drinking water.

What do we do? How do we help?

We have developed the TDSBot, an inexpensive IOT device that monitors, in real time, the Incoming and Outgoing TDS levels, temperature, flow rate and cumulative volume of water filtered. Easy to install, it works with all water purifiers including, sediment, GAC, Carbon, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse Osmosis water filters. Key benefits:

Know the incoming and filtered water quality in real time.
Know the volume of water filtered by day, week, month and total.
Know in advance when to change filter cartridges. Too often we tend to realize that they need changing after the water purifier has stopped working or worse, when the water smells bad.
Change filters only when needed. Sometimes filters perform longer than their standard life due to better incoming water or lower usage. Reduce waste and save money.
Quality data collected is aggregated to show real time water quality data to all the community.

TDSBot can be installed on water purifiers from Pentair, Culligan, 3M, Brita, BWT, iSpring, and most other brands. Supports sediment, GAC, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse osmosis filters. It can remotely monitor filters attached to Coffee machines, Ice makers, soda fountains, water dispensers, ovens, laundry & dish washing, car wash found at Cafes, convenient stores, healthcare facilities, hotels, offices, restaurants, colleges, schools, hydroponic systems, and many more.

Learn About Water Quality

* A definition specific to a few codes is that “Safe drinking water” means water that meets all primary and secondary drinking water standards. Drinking water standards are set based on potential health impacts and also take into account the cost to meet the drinking water standard. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines drinking water as safe when humans can drink it with low risk of immediate or long-term harm to your health. Although there may be health risks associated with certain contaminants found in drinking water not all contaminants are necessarily harmful.
