Had a conversation with a neighbour and we started discussing Union Bay Water, he thought the water was acidic so I went to get some answers.

Union Bay Water supply Langley Lake
Backgrounder;
The pH of pure water is 7. In general, water with a pH lower than 7 is considered acidic, and with a pH greater than 7 is considered basic. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5, and the pH range for groundwater systems is between 6 to 8.5. The Canadian drinking water quality guideline for pH is an Aesthetic Objective (AO) of between 6.5 and 8.5. pH

Water with a low pH can be acidic, naturally soft and corrosive. … If your water is acidic (less than 7 pH) you may have problems with leaching of copper and lead from your plumbing.
Want to no more…..This fun video will cover information that you need to know about pH, Alkalinity, and Hardness
Now wasn’t that interesting….
