Where does Colgate’s drinking water come from?
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, about 66% of Wisconsin residents get their drinking water from groundwater, and the other 33% source it from Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, or Lake Winnebago. The local government reports that about 4 in 10 people get their drinking water from private wells.
Owners of private wells are responsible for monitoring their private wells to ensure they are safe to drink from. Nitrates and arsenic, for example, are common, naturally occurring contaminants in Wisconsin soil and are often found in private well water. In Outagamie County, for example, the percentage of private wells that tested over the safe level of arsenic in drinking water was nearly four times the percentage of private wells overall in Wisconsin. However, Outagamie County reported lower numbers of unsafe nitrate levels in private wells compared to Wisconsin overall.
The Importance of Filtering Your Water
How unsafe is unfiltered water?
Proper water filtration is essential for maintaining a safe source of drinking water. Even water that is not for consumption (animal or human) should be free of harmful contaminants that can affect our lives in other ways. Water for showering, washing your clothes, nourishing your pets, and even watering your plants should be healthy. Water can be considered “dirty” due to chemical pollutants and disease-causing microbes.
There are several short-term and long-term risks associated with drinking contaminated water. Exposure to chemicals in water can result in skin discoloration or, eventually, damage to the nervous system or organs. Ingesting water with disease-causing microbes is relatively rare in the United States nowadays because of advanced water filtration practices, but that used to be a common spreader of infectious diseases, including typhoid fever and cholera. There are parts of the world where these diseases still run rampant because of inadequate or tainted drinking water supplies.
Common Sources of Drinking Water Contamination:
- Industry & agriculture— Rainfall and water runoff can carry fertilizer and pesticides into the water system. Storage facilities for these compounds can also spread contaminants through rainfall and water runoff.
- Human & animal waste— Sewage and septic systems can spread harmful microbes into drinking water systems. Common contaminants found in these scenarios include E.coli and Giardia.
- Treatment & distribution— Some treatments meant to clean the water can leave behind harmful chemicals such as trihalomethanes. Flaws in the water system, such as broken or rusty pipes, can also contribute to contamination.
- Natural sources— Groundwater can pass through soil and bedrock that is contaminated with natural arsenic, heavy metals, or radioactive compounds such as radon.

The customer had been renting through the Clean Water Center, a water softener and iron filter for many years now, and started noticing the water pressure in the home declining. A service technician went out to the home to change out the reverse osmosis filters, and just do some general maintenance on the units. The tech noticed that the iron curtain that was in the home, was causing the drop in pressure and noted that the bed on the iron curtain was fowled up and suggested that the customer have a new one installed.
A Project Coordinator went out to the home the next day and talked with the homeowner. He wanted to continue to rent, but after he thought about it, the homeowner decided to continue renting the softener but purchase the new iron filter. They were going out of town and wanted to get the purchase agreement wrapped up and get on the schedule as soon as they got back. We were able to get them on the schedule the following Monday when they got back and they did not have to worry about the water anymore.
This homeowner rents pieces of our equipment, specifically a softener and an iron filter. They also own one of our RO systems. This particular day they gave us a call because they noticed the RO not producing as much water as usual.
We sent out our technician John to look over the system and diagnose the problem. On arrival he realized the filters needed to be changed out and so was able to do that right away! On top of that, he was able to look over all the other equipment to ensure everything was in good working order, and deliver 6 bags of salt.
The homeowner called in to see if we could help him out. He was having trouble with one of his units sounding louder than normal. John, our service technician, was able to get to the home to inspect the treatment equipment. One of the units in his home just needed a little T.L.C and the unit was up and running again.
