Maui Water Is Now UNSAFE To Drink Even With Filters, Warn County Authorities

Maui water is now UNSAFE to drink even with filters, warn county authorities.

Maui County, Hawaii, is warning local residents that they should not drink tap water, because there is currently no "Way to make it safe" even with filters following the Lahaina fires.

Even whole-house water systems are unlikely to address the "Extreme contamination" that occurs to water systems after a local fire.

The Maui fires damaged hundreds of drinking water pipes throughout the city, resulting in a massive pressure loss that allows toxic chemicals, along with metals and bacteria, to seep into water lines.

The Hawaii state health department has ordered Maui County, which operates water delivery systems for most of the island's residents, to commence testing of the water for 23 different chemicals.

Keep in mind that there are many more potentially deadly chemicals lurking in the tainted water - these are just the ones for which the federal government has established drinking water contamination limits.

The 2017 Tubbs Fire in California, followed by the Camp Fire a year later, "Are the first known wildfires where widespread drinking water chemical contamination was discovered in the water distribution network," reads a recent study published by researchers at the American Water Works Association.
