Drinking Water Violations
According to records from 2015, the EPA said that 21 million people were served by drinking water systems that didn’t meet standards based on rule violations.

A Review or Not A Review…. that is the question?
(REVIEW SITES EXPOSED) This article is purely advice and a result of frustration from the few poorly run and respected companies in the field.

Over the years, review sites have popped up on virtually every computer/mobile [...]
