The quality of your restaurant’s water is important but often overlooked. First, your building may have old lead pipes which contaminate the water. This can be solved with filtering. Second, your local utility company is limited in what they can do when it comes to testing. Water may be clean at the source, but become contaminated down the line. Third, customers are increasingly concerned about the quality of their water, and you can build trust and loyalty by making sure yours is clean.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your dwelling might contain old lead pipes.
  • Your local utility company can only test so much.
  • Testing your water keeps it free of contaminants.

“From managing your team to ensuring your patrons and guests are always having a positive experience, the quality of your establishment’s water is probably the last thing on your mind.”
