About this listen

On this episode of Water Talk, Scott and Paul “The Waterman” Dowding tackled a surprising and growing concern: pharmaceuticals showing up in our drinking water. Paul explained that trace amounts of medications—including painkillers, antidepressants, hormones, and antibiotics—are now being detected in water systems nationwide. While levels are measured in parts per trillion, long-term exposure and the mixture of multiple drugs raise real questions. Water treatment plants were never designed to remove these compounds, and sources range from human excretion to agricultural runoff and even manufacturing waste. Colorado is not immune, with studies showing drug residues throughout the Front Range.

The good news? Proven technologies like reverse osmosis and advanced carbon systems can greatly reduce these contaminants. Paul emphasized the importance of education, proper testing, and choosing certified solutions.
