In this episode, Cydian Kauffman, CEO of Pure Water Northwest, shares how his experience in property management led him to focus on water quality. He explains the EPA’s standards /MCL versus MCLG) and why municipalities often prioritize the less health-focused option due to cost. Cydian explores how water treatment and distribution can introduce contaminants and stresses the importance of regular home water testing and effective filtration. He also addresses the politicization of water, inequities in access, and the potential for future solutions like desalination to improve water quality.
