On this episode of Water Talk, Scott and Paul “The Waterman” Dowding tackled a surprising and growing concern: pharmaceuticals showing up in our drinking water. Paul explained that trace amounts of medications—including painkillers, antidepressants, hormones, and antibiotics—are now being detected in water systems nationwide. While levels are measured in parts per trillion, long-term exposure and the mixture of multiple drugs raise real questions. Water treatment plants were never designed to remove these compounds, and sources range from human excretion to agricultural runoff and even manufacturing waste. Colorado is not immune, with studies showing drug residues throughout the Front Range.

The good news? Proven technologies like reverse osmosis and advanced carbon systems can greatly reduce these contaminants. Paul emphasized the importance of education, proper testing, and choosing certified solutions.

On this episode of The Your Money Matters Radio Show, Kurt Rogers, Managing Broker at Affordable Interest Mortgage is with us to explain why today’s housing landscape is truly a buyer’s market. With more homes available, longer days on market, and sellers offering incentives, buyers have strong negotiating power. Despite the slowdown, home values are not depreciating—conforming loan limits have risen to $832,750 for 2026, and NAR reports 2.7% appreciation year-to-date. Kurt emphasizes long-term ownership: a $500,000 home appreciating at 2.7% annually becomes worth over $600,000 in seven years. A key opportunity in this market is seller concessions, especially 2/1 and 3/2/1 buydowns, which can dramatically reduce payments and save thousands upfront. Buyers can also choose to apply concessions toward a permanent rate reduction. Kurt encourages knowing your true credit score, optimizing it for the lowest rate, and exploring flexible loan programs like FHA and VA. With appreciation trends and strong concessions, now is an excellent time for buyers to take advantage. Kurt Rogers is our exclusive Mortgage Broker. Call Kurt at (720) 895-0500 and explore your mortgage refinance options if you have high interest debt! Kurt is saving real clients, real money! Check out the website at www.aimortgage.net.

On this episode of Water Talk, host Scott Whatley and Paul “the Waterman” Dowding, owner of Water Pro’s, and Water Treatment Specialist Mark Whitlach tackle one of the nation’s most alarming environmental threats — PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” These man-made compounds, found in products like non-stick pans, waterproof fabrics, and food wrappers, never break down and accumulate in the environment and human body. Paul explains that nearly 70 million acres of U.S. farmland may be contaminated due to the use of biosolids — wastewater sludge repurposed as fertilizer — which often contains PFAS. This toxic cycle allows PFAS to infiltrate soil, crops, livestock, and ultimately our food and water supply. Our conversation highlights that while the EPA regulates metals and pathogens, it does not regulate PFAS in biosolids or food, leaving a major policy gap. The health impacts are severe: cancer, immune suppression, liver damage, thyroid and reproductive issues. He urges listeners to test their water, install reverse osmosis or carbon filtration systems, and buy organic foods to minimize exposure. Finally, Paul calls on the public to pressure local and federal leaders to ban PFAS-contaminated sludge and demand transparency. The episode closes with Water Pro’s mission: “Cleaner Water, Healthier Home.” Call Water Pro’s today for your free in home water test 303-862-5554.
