Is the water in Washington REALLY safe to drink? Is tap water healthy for us? Do you need a water filter in your home? Concerns about water quality are prevalent. The U.S. prides itself on clean, safe drinking water, yet, terrible water crises have occurred in Flint, Michigan and Jackson, Mississippi in recent years that seem to contradict the notion of American drinking water being safe.
How do we know that our drinking water is safe and something like this won’t happen to us? Join us for our conversation with Environmental Geologist, Jessica Atlakson of the City of Redmond, Washington as she answers all our questions about water quality and safety.
Jessica Atlakson is an Environmental Geologist at the City of Redmond, Washington with over 20 years of experience in water quality. She develops quality assurance programs and plans for Redmond’s groundwater, creates groundwater protection codes and assists with groundwater sampling and quality investigations.
