Water Test Damascus, MD
Water Test Damascus, MD
As someone who lives in Damascus, you may be aware of the water pollution concerns in the area. Like most other suburbs and towns in Maryland, this suburb gets its water from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC). The Commission, in turn, sources city water from the Potomac and Patuxent Rivers.
Both these rivers have a history of pollution from industrial and agricultural activities as well as runoff from road infrastructure, which includes automotive oil and metals.
Additionally, as water flows from the city treatment plant to your home, it is susceptible to pollution from the soil, aging pipes, and runoff from commercial operations in the area. The WSSC follows the Environmental Protection Agency’s standards, but the Commission has limited control over the water after it leaves their facility.
Because of these factors, the risk of residential water pollution is relatively high. Furthermore, polluted water may not have an abnormal taste or smell, making it challenging to detect impurities in the water you use every day.
As a solution to this problem, Hague Quality Water of Maryland (HQWMD) offers professional, accurate, and free water testing* services. If you want to ensure that your family uses water that is clean and safe, scheduling this service is the first step.

A waterborne contaminant is a physical, chemical, biological, or radiological substance in water. Water pollutants differ in terms of toxicity levels and the health risks they hold. For example, impurities such as some minerals may not affect a person’s health in any way, while exposure to radioactive contaminants may cause severe conditions such as cancer.
Metals such as lead are common contaminants of drinking water. Lead, in particular, can cause several health conditions, including stunted childhood development, organ damage, and high blood pressure.
A waterborne impurity may not necessarily be harmful to your health, but it may cause damage to your plumbing fixtures and home appliances. For example, hard water is water with high mineral content.
High levels of magnesium and calcium can cause sediment build-up in your washing machine or dishwasher, shortening the units’ lifespans and increasing their maintenance requirements. Hard water can also cause skin irritations and make your hair brittle.
The solution to ensuring your water is free of harmful pollutants that affect your health and the condition of your appliances is a water treatment system installation. However, these systems differ in terms of the impurities they remove.
By using Hague Quality Water of Maryland’s free water testing service, you can find out exactly which contaminants are in your water. Once you know which impurities you are dealing with, you can select a suitable water treatment solution.
