What is the Water like where You Live?

[bodie]

we have severn trent water  - allegedly from the river severn.  nah it's pants.  i always boil it first.

Here near the coast you usually have to drill your wells, if you don't have communal water. Drilled wells give excellent water, though most water from lakes and rivers in Sweden is drinkable after slight purification.

[DirtDawg]

Most of the water here is frozen, right now.

I would not drink it anyway; too much mineral content.

I only drink purified water, but I drink a helluva lot of it. 


I do not mind peeing in our local water, much. Mostly, the local water is good enough to pee in. 

I can shit in it too, without overmuch angst.

I rarely drink dihydrogen monoxide by itself at home. But I will drink it in cups of tea, coffee and hot chocolate as well as Soda Streams.

Our water is mostly wet. And fluoridated.

We were close to running out a few months ago, but we had some rain and we are good for a couple of years.

[renaeden]

I'm glad our water is fluoridated.

I heard about the major water restrictions you had over your way, MOSW.

When I was in Toowoomba a few years ago I was surprised to see that every house had a water tank. I think we should do the same here in the West instead of depending on dams. Every year on the news we get shown how the dam water levels are getting lower and lower.

Our dam capacity is huge, our main dam holds twice as much water as Sydney Harbour. But our droughts go for years. We were down to about 40% and we are now back up to about 83%. A lot of inland towns were completely out of water and had to truck it in. I think we can go for a couple of years now with zero rain before we have to start worrying again.

Wow, I never knew it got to be that bad. I thought not being able to wash the car was bad. We have sprinkler rosters but it doesn't stop people from watering their lawns by hand.

One reason why I think our dams are getting lower is population growth. A lot of people are moving here from elsewhere and others are having families. Before the Coronavirus there was a house building boom. New estates popping up everywhere. So there's more need for water.

The water here is pretty good right out of the tap.   When I was a kid in Florida we had sulfur water   My cousin liked it for some reason though and would always drink the well water at her house they used for the garden  which was far more sulfury than the city water from the tap

[renaeden]

I wonder if your cousin has any health problems from doing that...

Well she's a bit crazy but that runs in the family    Other than that none that I know of

What are the levels like now, after the rain you had?

The water is good here, Kayleigh drinks it straight out of the tap. I won't drink it unless it's almost frozen.

[FourAceDeal]

Water?  You mean like in the toilet?

[Charlotte Quin]

Ours is perfectly drinkable. It comes from the river upstream and is stored in two reservoirs.
You can smell the chlorine in it when you shower though.
 
The water where dad is comes from the artesian basin/bore water. When I went out there last before xmas, he said he's switched to drinking it and I realised he'd finally gone mad . The council put sodium in it so it leaves a white thin film on all my stepma's plants when she waters the garden. Plus it runs hot from the cold tap in summer. Forget a nice lather when you wash your hair.

The worst water I think I've ever tasted is at Grafton NSW. I dunno what they put in there but it's bloody weird.
