  1. Buy yourself a food grade 275 plastic tank from Uline for $500 they will deliver it for free right to your doorstep item number is H-3886 you can put it on the back of a pickup truck and have enough spring water to last you a whole year.

  2. I live by the Ohio River and our water is not only brown but it reeks with chlorine that’s clearly used as an attempt to sanitize it. We used to drink bottled water but can no longer find it anywhere do to the pandemic. I was able to buy a faucet filter that I use, then I boil it, then put it into a brita filter again before I give it to my children to drink. You can never be too careful with city water these days. Look what happened in Flint, Michigan.

  3. This is good news but also very sad this stolen land has become destroyed by the white men's greed America is going g to need more people like them. less like Trump.

  4. That's not all thats unclean in living accommodations up north. The vents the ducks the carpets the top air vents . Month by month inspections of those living in apartments and houses have not been up to par check and see how the poor or middle class are treated and then see how people are being treated by their owners that pay a big amount of money For rent For what?

  5. To be honest – any democratic country should have water, food and shelter for it's citizens. In USA you are now suffering the capitalistic agenda of selling out everything to private companies. USA consider itself to be the number one country in the industrial world and still – not everybody has water, you can't drink tap water everywhere, your education system is not free, you don't have health care for everyone, you don't even have voting rights for every adult… I don't even know where to start… Isn't it time for USA to finally get your asses of the TV couch, vote in some real democratic ideals?

  6. America, what has happened? Is this a joke? Connect the pipes to the spring via PVC, add faucet. How difficult is it, for standard water authorities to pursue, (for at least, to tide over the virus crisis). Something is radically wrong in this nation! God help politicians " not to be only political grabers of votes, and stuffy nosed elites, who forgot their positions remain totally dependent on the vulnerable. This way, it does seem exactly so . God thrash our brains, with nothing but sensitivity, for all humanities. Amen!

  7. That is not true. Detroit has a huge water system and is one of the cleanest in the country. The problem that arouse a few years ago was the city water depart had had enough with delinquent bill payers and shut them off. Some of these slugs hadn't paid their bills in decades. Nor had any of these bill dodgers contacted the city water department to get on a payment plan, which the water department was more than happy to do and has with people in the past and never shut anyone off that was making a reasonable attempt to pay their bill. Not to mention most of these small cities are on municipal wells and you are going to get minerals in well water even if it is a municipal well. Simply get a whole house water filter to remove the minerals. As far as the water containing chemicals get it tested. And don't tell me they don't have the money of they are going around giving people water coolers that cost as much as or more than a water purity test at a lab. Then go on about your water purity.

  8. I believe the EPA safe drinking water for the public is 500 or 600 max PPM. Purified and distilled water hovers between 0-30ppm which is the best. Water softeners bring that 500 to 600 down to 200 to 300 duebto the salt. Use a water meter test. Also, get a test from home depot for free also Ace hardware. You can check all the impurities in the water and provide that information to the water company. They probably wont do anything about it, but its good for you to know. Then you can start treating your own water accordingly to save trips…i figured this out when I did hydroponic vegis and herbs. Newly germinated plants will die within a few hours with high (poorly treated) water compared to their full bloom growth when its required (some require 1200 to 1800ppm like cuccumbers.) Imagine the damage to your body if your drinking that water is that bad. Might as well shower in brake fluid and destroy your kidneys and CNS when its absorbed in the skin.

  9. I have so much respect for these people who are stepping up to help their neighbors get basic needs. It’s not their responsibility, and they have enough to deal with already, but they’re still going out of their way because they care. We need people like them in government.
