There has been an issue with the municipal water supply where I live for the past 2 months.
It started with the entire town of ~2k people getting some sort of gastro virus within 2 days. The pharmacy was sold out of everything imaginable, most stores were short staffed, etc.
Then the third day the muni posted on Facebook that they were going to be performing "maintenance" on the system. They then shut off the water for 2 days.
Here we are 2 months later and are still dealing with pressure, color, turbidity, odor issues. They have not provided any additional information beyond "maintenance".
I suppose I could import a sufficient whole house water filtration system and import the replacement filters for eternity. Even then, nobody knows exactly what the issue is with the water, so I'd be grasping at straws or purchasing the most expensive possible system that treats every known potential issue.
So, yeah, we're drinking bottled water for now until there's consensus that the municipal water supply is safe to drink again.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 4y agoI think there's a middle ground here. they should be bringing in large jugs of bottled water for you folks. We don't need small plastic bottles for everyday use.
- leesalminen 4y agoI mean, sure. We buy 6-liter jugs of water and then drink out of cups and water bottles. We're not animals ;)
