News TODAY: EPA Webinar on drinking water safety
Posted By Rhiannon Fionn-Bowman on Tue, May 17, 2011 at 8:31 AM
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has launched a new website, currently in beta, that allows you to find out just how safe the agency thinks your drinking water is. Check it out here. Unfortunately, the results require a decoder ring and time to poke around and familiarize yourself with the various acronyms, forms and reports. (See the results for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area here.)
You can also look up water sources, like Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Department, in the EPA's Enforcement and Compliance Online (ECHO; clever, huh?) database here, where you can also sign up for data alerts.
If all of this is sounding too geeky for you, don't worry: You can tune into a webinar this afternoon to learn more.
From the press release:
EPA will host a webinar demonstrating how to use the Safe Drinking Water Act violation information in ECHO on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 2 p.m. EDT. The demonstration will show users how to search for information about local water quality, how to compare data by state, and highlight other features of the tool.
