I Have to Treat My Tap Water

“They have announced that there was some problem at the water treatment plant and that we have to boil our tap water.

I assume that I can, but I guess I'd like to hear some confirmation. Can I just use my water filter or my Aqua Mira?”

“yep, unless the problem at the plant is viral. If its simply bacterial, then your fine.”

“They only said there was a loss of pressure, therefore we have to boil our water. I don't know what that means really.”

“It means there is a leak in the main somewhere and the water is potentially contaminated. You can probably just filter it.”

“Boil it for 5 minutes ruby.”

“Filtration is fine. We've had to do that a few times.”

“I've quit drinking water anyway since I cnat holdit down one way or the other. :|”

“Why chance it. Just drink beer instead of water.”

“Hey Ruby, You need some of my lemonade. My special lemonade will never have any virus, or bacteria . hehe, You know!!!”

“Fridge, Hey! Did you see my thread to you? I want to talk to you about your lemonade.”

“A town I used to live in did the same thing once. Only thing is, I didn't find out about it until way after the fact, so I never did boil, filter, or treat the water. Guess I got lucky - I didn't get sick :-)”

“You know, Woodzie, I suspect the same is true here. There is probably nothing wrong with the water, but they said that just to cover their butts.”

“What's that? My well used to be at 325' deep. Now it;s 710' deep & hydrofractured twice. Cost about 12k just to have water. Almost walked away from the house. Glad I didn't. It's been great for many years now. It is COLD & tastes great.”

“I'm jealous, Cats. I used to have well water, then filtered via reverse osmosis. By far the best water I have ever tasted.”
