If only people knew that Ozarka and all those fancy bottled water are just jucky ole well water with the minerals stripped out!<br /><br />Some minerals are good but there was a little town named Luling that probably had the foulest water I've ever tasted - enough sulfur rotten eggs to knock your hat in the creek. <br /><br />As to their chlorine injector system down here, somedays it seems OK and the next you can smell it even in the toilet it is so strong. I don't think the quality control is real good ... the water report shows they tend to over-do it quite a bit. Maybe better safe than sorry?<br /><br />Keep this under your hat but I called the town manager and public works director on account a construction project kept cuttting the waterline in our area. So I had air, sand, and nasties coming out the tap everytime they fixed the pipe! This went on for two weeks.<br /><br />The response was couched in terms like "you shouldn't be drinking that water anyway, way, it ain't fit for consumption - I drink bottled water."Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10291496.post-22225217961381893382006-12-12T03:11:00.000-08:002006-12-12T03:11:00.000-08:00Thanks for comments.

They sell water here like other places have StarBucks. Frankly I have had much worse than this. ( Truth be told we moved from one farm we rented because the drinking water was so bad. Ever hear of a "sand point" well. Thats where you live so close to a large river {in this case it was the mighty mo} that all you have to do to get a well is dig about 10 ft into the sand and start pumping. The problem was...though it looked ok in a glass...tests showed you might as well have been drinking out of your aquarium. Off the charts for nitrogen lvls.) Anyway, having lived through that..and trying one half glass full of water from an artisian well that had sulpher in it ( big ickk) the water here is fantastic. My wife, however, who has a better nose than I do, has complained a few times lately that she could smell the chlorine. Once I could even smell it so it must have been nearly as stong as a swimming pool that day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
