TapWaterData โ€” newsletter media kit

Reach households while they're making decisions about their water.

TapWaterData turns fragmented government, utility and certification data into clear information about drinking-water quality, testing and treatment โ€” and a weekly newsletter that lands while people are deciding whether to test, filter or treat. Commercial partners can support that work; they never influence it.

The publication

One commercial partner per issue. There is a single paid position in each send and it is never shared, so the calendar fills in order.

The platform behind the newsletter

Subscribers arrive through the data, not through a lead magnet. These figures are read from the live site every time this document is built.

  • 18,737 cities with a published water-quality report
  • 21,000+ public water systems
  • 609 contaminants with a dedicated reference page

Why this audience is different

Nobody subscribes to a drinking-water newsletter casually. People arrive with a question about their own tap and stay because the next one is already forming. These are the decisions they are in the middle of โ€” stated as topics, not as shares, because we do not collect the subscriber data that would make a percentage true.

  • Water-quality research
  • Water testing
  • PFAS, lead and specific contaminants
  • Private well water
  • Hard water
  • Filtration
  • Whole-house treatment
  • Leaks and monitoring
  • Home water decisions

Upcoming editorial inventory

TapWaterData sets every topic and conclusion independently. Partners may reserve the paid position beside a relevant, preplanned issue.

  • Oct 8, 2026โ€” Water leaks: the signals that deserve action
  • Oct 15, 2026โ€” Buying a home: the water questions inspections miss
  • Oct 22, 2026โ€” Filter certification: reading the listing behind the claim

What sponsorship does not buy

Commercial independence
Sponsorship does not influence water-quality data, analysis, filter rankings, testing recommendations, certification findings, or any editorial conclusion.
Competitive coverage continues
A sponsor cannot prevent us from covering, testing, or recommending a competitor while their campaign is running.
Exclusivity is only the paid position
Commercial exclusivity applies only to the paid sponsor position in an issue: it never extends to editorial coverage, rankings, testing results or recommendations, and it can never be used to keep a competitor out of anything we publish.
Subscriber privacy
Sponsors never receive email lists, subscriber identities, addresses, or behavioural profiles. Reporting is aggregate campaign performance only.

The full sponsorship integrity policy is the version that governs every campaign: www.tapwaterdata.com/partners/editorial-policy.
