A growing number of cities, especially in California, are taking a variety of steps to reduce their local sodium levels and water treatment costs, which can be affected in cases by the number of traditional water softeners in an area.With that in mind, the city of Woodland, California recently announced that
it is conducting a survey to learn more about the source of some of its salinity levels in wastewater. The city noted that participants will also be entered in a drawing for a GPS unit.
In its announcement, the city notes that higher salt levels can contribute to blood pressure problems and also harm crops, fish and other wildlife. Another problem is higher wastewater and drinking water costs.
The city did mention water softeners in its announcement, noting that the local hard water is safe to drink, but can leave deposits on plumbing fixtures and damage appliances, while also making soap and shampoo less effect.
The attention on the environmental effect of water softeners is gaining more attention nationwide as cities struggle to provide adequate supplies in light of increased demand and factors like pollution and an aging infrastructure.
If you are affected by these new laws and want to soften the water in your home, feel free to get in touch with me and I'd be happy to help.
