      Charleston water quality throughout the years.

      Now
      Then

      While Charleston water quality is generally “safe” today, according to the Environmental Working Group, there are some contaminants present above safety limits set by national standards. The most common contaminants in Charleston water include nitrates, trihalomethanes, lead, arsenic, and pesticides. Nitrate contamination is particularly concerning, as it can cause a range of health issues, including anemia, birth defects, and even cancer.

      Read more

      Trihalomethanes occur when chlorine combines with drinking water to kill bacteria, and can also be dangerous if consumed in high concentrations. While many of these contaminants occur naturally, some can be attributed to human activities, such as fertilizer runoff from agricultural sites and industrial waste from manufacturing plants.

      Charleston has a rich history when it comes to its waterworks. In its early days, residents relied on wells and cisterns for their water supply. By the mid-19th century, the city began to develop a more sophisticated water system known as the Charleston Water System.

      Read more

      A reservoir and pumping station were built as part of the development of this modern water system. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that chlorine was introduced as a disinfectant, which significantly improved Charleston water quality.

      Frequently asked questions.

      Is Charleston water safe to drink?

      Charleston water is generally considered safe to drink. According to the Charleston Water System, the city’s water supply meets or exceeds safe drinking water standards at the federal and state levels. The treatment process filters and disinfects the water to ensure the removal of disease-causing organisms and other contaminants.

      The treatment process can occasionally cause the water to smell or taste musty. However, the compounds that cause this phenomenon are harmless, and it doesn’t indicate a problem with water quality or safety. Households or workplaces looking to improve the taste and smell of their drinking water may want to install a sustainable filtration system, which can reduce impurities and provide clear hydration.

      Can you drink tap water in Charleston?

      You can drink Charleston’s tap water if you set the faucet to cold. Hot tap water can potentially contain contaminants from your water heater. It can also contain lead, particularly if your office has brass faucets or plumbing that uses lead solder. A commercial filtration system and a filtering ice dispenser can help reduce unwanted contaminants in your household water.

      Additionally, immunocompromised individuals, such as those who’ve had organ transplants or who are undergoing cancer treatments, should consult a health care professional before drinking tap water. Infants and the elderly may also be at increased risk for infection due to contaminants in tap water.

      Does Charleston have hard water?

      According to the Charleston Water System, the city has moderately soft water. Water hardness measures the amount of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, present in the water supply. Soft water has a lower mineral content than hard water.

      This can have benefits, such as reduced mineral buildup on pipes and plumbing fixtures and less spotting on dishes and glassware. Soft water can also clean dishes and clothing more efficiently than hard water.
