HEALTHY KAUAI
Why do we think it is so healthy to live on
Kauai? Well, because we live here!!
No, that is not the only reason. Here's a few of our reasons. Some have been
submitted to us by others that have given us their thoughts in this
regards.
Kauai's Water: Yes, Yes, Yes, you can drink the
water straight out of the tap.
And it is very, very good water too. Sure they sell bottled water by the truck
load out of the
stores, but don't waste your money. Drink our good water.
According to the Kauai Department of Water's 2005
Water Quality Report for
the Wailua-Kapaa Water system they point out the following:
Our water comes from ground water (underground) sources. Rain that
falls
in the mountain filters through the ground into formations called aquifers.
Wells
are drilled into these formations and the water is pumped out. These
formations can also be found in
the mountains (still considered ground water).
Tunnels are constructed to tap
these sources. The quality of groundwater is
very good and requires no treatment except for
disinfection (as opposed to
surface water sources that require filtration and stronger
disinfection).
All of the water is chlorinated.
The pH can range from 7.1 to 8.0.
The hardness can range from 50 to 130 ppm.
The chlorine level ranges between 0.1 and 0.5 ppm.
For general inquiries or to get your own Water Quality Report
