💧🎙️ When Water Problems Travel: What Colorado’s Sewage Spill Reminds Us About Water Quality 💦🎧 Water Talk with Host Scott Whatley & Paul “The Waterman” Dowding at WaterPros.
What happens to a water contamination problem after it enters a river? Unfortunately, it doesn’t necessarily stay where it started. 🌊
On this edition of Water Talk, host Scott Whatley sits down with Paul “The Waterman” Dowding, Owner of Water Pro’s, to discuss a troubling Colorado water story involving approximately 4.2 million gallons of sewage spilling into the Arkansas River and moving downstream toward John Martin Reservoir.
💧 On this episode, you’ll hear about:
🚨 The Colorado sewage spill and why incidents like this can have impacts far beyond where they begin
🌊 How water quality problems can travel downstream, potentially affecting communities, wildlife and recreational areas along the way
♾️ PFAS—or “Forever Chemicals”—and why they continue to be a concern in our water
💊 Pharmaceutical residue, microplastics and other pollutants that may be present in the water we use every day
🚰 Why water that looks, smells and tastes clean may still contain contaminants that cannot be detected without proper testing
🏡 Why understanding the water coming into your own home is so important
The good news? You don’t have to guess about the quality of your water.
