A Covid-19 Update...



With the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine to prevent the virus spreading, there is a lot of misinformation, confusion and fear swirling around.  Namely, many folks are left wondering how this Coronavirus affects ponds, streams and our own drinking water.

According to the CDC, there is no scientific evidence to support that a person can catch Covid-19 from water - such as ponds, swimming pools or hot tubs  They caution that even though the chances are almost non-existent, taking precautions to properly clean or manage your water features and pools is ideal.  Using the right chemicals and keeping these features well-maintained should be more than sufficient during this time to inactivate or remove the virus that causes it.

There has also been no Covid-19 detected in drinking water supplies and current disinfection methods are more than able to properly remove or inactivate the virus as well.

At Laughing Waters Pond Maintenance, we put the health and safety of our customers, their families and our employees as the main priority.  While this is a difficult time for so many, we believe that with cooperation, compassion and precaution, we will overcome this hardship and embrace a brighter future.  We will continue to monitor the CDC water findings and let everyone know if anything changes.

For more information, please feel free to contact our Laughing Water Pond Maintenance specialists at 708.586.2393 and remember to wash your hands, practice social distancing and be safe out there.
