Dirty Water

Did anyone in DC have dirty water today. It was so brown looking that it scared me to even wash my hands.

They must have been working on a water main in your area.

I had been through this when I lived in the city limits. Several times I had to take my sink faucets apart and clean the muck out of them so the valves would flow again. One time the water looked like sewer water! YUK!

Ever since I started pumping my own water, my water woes have subsided...and the water is about ten times cleaner. Hell, I may even live to 100 now!!

Even on the days when the water doesn't look dirty...it is. I wouldn't drink it. I don't even cook with it.

EXACTLY!! Dodge City water is terrible! Besides just think how often we get the reports in the mail about contaminates that have been in our water. In my opinion it is never safe to drink Dodge City water.

Especially for people with bad immune systems and small children. I think it is sad that we have to live in a community and pay taxes for water that one just doesn't feel comfortable drinking.....Another answer to the question...Why not Dodge?

For around 80 bucks, + 40 bucks shipping, you can get you an RO system and feel confident about the water you are putting in your body.

I use this system and have had the water tested- results have shown it is considerably better than even bottled water.

I've had my system for over 7 years and love it!

My parents distilled their own drinking water for many years. Mom is in her eighties and Dad made it to 88 so maybe it worked for them.

I was so used to the Liberal water when I moved here (it's great!) that I could taste that it was different and have only drank bottled and jugged water since then.
