Does NYC Have The Best Water On Earth?
New York City’s municipal water supply is considered a crown jewel of major metropolitan water systems—not just in America, but throughout the world. Each day, it supplies approximately 1 billion gallons of fresh water to nearly 10 million residents. Its quality is in such demand, that the NYC water system also supplies water to nearly half the state of New York.
New York is also a city rich in history, with much of its residential building stock dating to the early 20th century. A significant portion of New York City buildings were constructed prior to lead plumbing standards being enacted in 1986. You can see where this is going. Even a mighty city like New York, with its world-renowned water system, is not immune to the problem of lead—and other contaminants—in its drinking water.
And here’s why. While the quality of the water coming out of the treatment plant is important, it’s the quality coming out of the tap that really matters. Each year, an average of 6% of water samples in the city come back positive for lead in excess of the 15 parts per billion allowed by the EPA. Some are many thousands of times over the limit. The blame almost exclusively belongs to the pipes, fittings, and fixtures in these older buildings. It is because of this that the business owners and residents of New York City should not consider themselves immune from the need for commercial filtered water systems.
For example, a Natura water system uses a patented three-stage filtration process to eliminate impurities—including lead—while retaining healthy, thirst-quenching minerals. Protection includes two high-grade, long-lasting carbon filters, a 0.5 micron high-flow carbon filter, and the world’s only total irradiation filtration system that reduces bacteria and virus count to almost zero.
Even the best water in the world is susceptible to lead and other contamination
present in the pipes of older buildings. A filtered water system reduces the threat and restores of peace of mind.

The Link Between Hydration and Gut Health Your gut is at the core of your overall well-being, playing a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even immune function. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, but not all water is created equal. While sugary sodas and artificial beverages can disrupt gut flora, sparkling filtered water offers a refreshing and beneficial alternative. How Sparkling Filtered Water Supports Digestive Health 1. Aiding Digestion Ever felt bloated or sluggish after a meal? Carbonation in sparkling water can help stimulate digestion by promoting the natural release of digestive enzymes. This mild effervescence can also ease feelings of fullness, making it a great option after a heavy meal. 2. Reducing Bloating and Constipation Filtered sparkling water has been shown to help relieve constipation by improving bowel movements. The gentle bubbles can stimulate peristalsis, the wave-like muscle contractions that move food through your intestines, helping to prevent sluggish digestion. 3. Maintaining a Balanced Microbiome Your gut microbiome thrives when you consume pure, clean water. Many tap and bottled waters contain contaminants, chlorine, and even microplastics that can disrupt gut bacteria. By choosing triple-filtered Natura sparkling water, you’re avoiding these harmful elements and providing your digestive system with a cleaner, healthier hydration source. 4. Alleviating Acid Reflux & Heartburn While unfiltered carbonated drinks can sometimes contribute to acid reflux, water from Natura systems are free from artificial sweeteners and acidity-increasing additives, making it a gentler option. The effervescence can also help clear excess mucus from the esophagus, offering relief from mild reflux symptoms. Why Filtered Water Matters for Gut Health Filtering your water removes impurities such as heavy metals, chlorine, and bacteria, all of which can negatively impact gut health. Sparkling filtered water provides the best of both worlds: a pure, clean hydration source with the digestive benefits of carbonation. The Natura Water Difference At Natura Water, we believe that hydration should be both pure and enjoyable . Our premium water filtration systems ensure that every sip is free from contaminants while offering the crisp, refreshing taste of high-quality sparkling water. Whether for home, office, or hospitality use, our systems support gut health and sustainability, eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles. If you’re looking for a gut-friendly way to stay hydrated, triple-filtered sparkling water is an excellent choice. It promotes digestion, helps prevent bloating, and keeps your gut microbiome balanced—all while offering a delicious, bubbly experience. Ready to upgrade your hydration?
