theculturewarrior Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Hi! Our water comes from two places...the Rio Grande River, and sewage reclamation centers, which is practically the same thing. It looks cloudy when you put it in a glass. It doesn't even make good coffee. It's horrible. Just to give you an example...the Rio Grande practically is a sewage reclamation center. The "other side," which shall remain nameless, pumps raw untreated sewage into the Rio Grande. Runoff from rotting carcasses (human or animal) and herbicides and insecticides that would be illegal here in the states all flow down the River, and we're right here at the end of it. So, how's the water where you live?

HomeTeamFamily Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 my water comes from the brita pitcher on the dresser it tastes good
Paladin D Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Well water, I live out in the country. Nice and tasty. We also have a fiddler installed just to make sure it's extra clean.
Dudette Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 ^^^ Same with us, we a well and we have a fiddler too. Though I don't live out in the country.
cathoholic Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Reverse Osmosis, "now that's some high quality H2O."
FightingforGod Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 nasty, which is why im so glad there a fiddler on our fridge...its so chloriny
theculturewarrior Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 Reverse osmosis is about the only thing that can take the bite out of our water, and sadly, I can't afford to buy a tank. Brita won't do it.
Maddalena Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 (edited) I'll only drink bottled water. x_X My town's tap water is nasty. I have a friend that lives in Round Rock, and her family got a note from the county saying not to drink the water. Edited February 12, 2005 by Maddalena
Fidei Defensor Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I live near the begining of the Mississippi, and I have well water, so yum yum :spit:
Brother Adam Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Steubie water. 'nough said. We buy water in fill-you-own-jugs from Wal-Mart.
Gunga_ann Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Good ol well water. My town has, I think, Lake Michigan. But it has a lot of floride in it.
Crusader_4 Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I live in Canada and the water is great!!! hahahha lol its really clear and i dont even need a fiddler it wouldnt make any difference.

[/quote] For those of us not fortunate enough to live in Canada it's $1.00/5-gallon bottle, it's a great deal and a great workout if you wait and buy two of those per trip to the water-mart.

Fixxer Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 My tap water is ok. But the city of buffalo actualy has to put chlorine in its water, cause of all the leaks and such. But i dont drink from the tap, I have a water fiddler that we keep in the fridge Lake erie is disgusting though, you cant even eat the fish from there (or shouldnt)
mamalove Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I grew up on well water, but we have city water now. We had it tested when we moved here and the meter actually said "not fit for human consumption." We started drinking bottled water after that. Then we wised up and got an RO system and a water softner. Much cheaper in the long run.
Cesar624 Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I live in NYC, and NYC tapwater is like the cleanest in the nation - so I have no complaints!
