Why is modern plumbing so important?
A popular computer game called Oregon Trail depicts the life of the pioneers of olden days that braved the West in covered wagons. The game includes those pioneers facing water-borne diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid fever.
These are bacteria that come from fecal matter and they still plague many underdeveloped areas of the world. Sure, vaccines can help in areas where these diseases are endemic like India for example but in general, the advent of good plumbing practices like those Arvada Plumbing Services employ with every installation they perform is the key to good sanitation and good health. Diseases spawn from the contamination of drinking water are some of the top killers in the world. Good sanitary practices to stifle these horrible diseases begins with good plumbing practices of the type that Arvada Plumbing engineers into each and every job they work on. The working toilet and sink in your home are integral parts of a clean sanitation system. Keeping human waste separate from drinking water is the key. This is why the state of Colorado demands that septic fields reside at least 100 feet away from the well pump head when they issue permits for a well (something required and strongly enforced in the state by the Water Commission.) Nature and the Earth itself has a way of filtering human waste products and preventing them from contaminating water supplies, providing the waste areas (like septic tanks and septic fields) have a sufficient amount of earth to be filtered through before they get a chance to again communicate with the water supply, like an aquifer for example. By implementing good plumbing practices in your home, Arvada Plumbing will always make sure your water supply, your bathroom fixtures, kitchen and laundry are connected in a manner that takes the contaminants always from you and sends them off to the right place. It's all part of the advent of indoor plumbing and no one does it better in the Denver area than Arvada Plumbing. |

A WORD ON DENVER WATER QUALITY
The state of Colorado recognizes the importance of maintaining a good water supply for it's residents and has specific water rules that it enforces to ensure that there is enough good, clean water for everyone.
Officials in Denver also do their best to limit industrial pollution and the contamination from urban sprawl into the streams and waterways in the region.
In 2015, a report was commissioned to evaluate the quality of the water in the Denver metroplex. The 2015 study examined the levels of E. coli, nitrogen, phosphorous and selenium in Cherry Creek and the South Platte River.
They drew some very interesting conclusions. When the Glendale wastewater treatment plant closed in 2006, there was a decrease in the nitrate, phosphorous and E. coli contamination levels in Cherry Creek.
The changes were most notable downstream of Colorado Boulevard. Selenium (which sits adjacent to Arsenic on the Periodic Table) levels increased immediately downstream of Goldsmith Gulch and then began to decrease downstream.
Small amounts of Selenium are essential to human health but excessive amounts are considered toxic. What can you do at home to make sure your drinking water is a pure as possible?
