ZeroWater Offers Peace of Mind to Area Residents of Colorado Forest Fire

Online, June 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The recent Hewlett Fire near Fort Collins, Colorado has many anticipating a drop in local water quality, taste and appearance for the next three years. Many experts fear that rain will wash ash and toxic sediment into the Poudre River water system - a major water supply for local residents. As water treatment officials develop plans to counterattack runoff that may impact water resources, ZeroWater filtration products give Colorado resident's peace of mind knowing that the filtered tap water they're drinking is uncompromised and safe to consume.

A recent survey of the burn area and surrounding damage found that increased erosion on the burned slopes could likely increase the amount of sediment in local drinking water. Rain could increase the amount of sediment in local water sources and, in turn, give the water a black or ashy appearance. In addition, water could have a smoky taste further driving urgency.

While the environmental damage of the forest fire is uncertain at this time, it is likely that the damage could last up to three years following the fire. For residents who are concerned about water supply, countertop water filtration systems make for an inexpensive solution to providing homes with clean tap water. ZeroWater's technology is unmatched, using a unique five-stage ionic filtration system that is proven and certified to remove 99.9% total dissolved solids (TDS) from water.

The Hewlett Fire further demonstrates the impact natural disasters can have on vital resources. Fires, earthquakes and severe storms all potentially threaten drinking water supplies. Residents may have to face poor or diminished water quality for extended periods in disastrous conditions. These situations can easily be addressed if a family has the proper tools to treat their own tap water, such as a ZeroWater filtration pitcher.
