Over the past week, Green Philly readers told us what they know – and what they want to know – about the Delaware Watershed.
When asked if they know the source of their tap water, readers said:
| Strongly Disagree | Strongly Agree | |||
| 26.0% | 16.8% | 17.3% | 19.7% | 20.2% |
The variation in responses show there is more to learn about how our water makes its way to your kitchen sink. Responses also indicated many readers have concerns about the safety of Philadelphia tap water since just 32% said they “strongly agree” with the statement: Philadelphia tap water is safe to drink.
Besides drinking water, the survey also showed Green Philly readers are interested in learning more about stormwater infrastructure; climate change’s impact on existing systems; and different industries – like fracking – and their effects on our waterways; as well as the watershed’s wildlife and details on safe and low-cost activities along the 330-mile Delaware River.
You’ll see these questions answered in upcoming post. Stay tuned to our coverage, and subscribe to our weekly emails so you don’t miss a post!
