Coronavirus Sparks Concern on Bottled Water Shortage
The U.S Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of reassuring residents that water from their tap is safe to consume. However,
hundreds of people are crowding local grocery stores throughout the
country to stock up on bottled water supplies due to the Coronavirus
pandemic. Government officials have stated that conventional water treatment
and disinfection removes any viruses, including the COVID-19, and no
extra measures like boiling water will be necessary. In this article,
the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities offers information on
their website to advise customers and answer questions that the public
may have regarding this matter. It is always a best practice to have a
four-day supply of water for emergency precautions; however, the
the department has downplayed the need to stockpile water for the
coronavirus outbreak.
