Water Woes.....


Our town water supply is still listed as "unsafe".... (due to a rupture in the main line a bit over a week ago .... Water smells bad....(we played in stagnate creeks as a kid and the water did not smell as bad)
How our water looked back in March... not just "air bubbles"....

Back in the first of March , my Town was to add chlorine and other chemicals..... (They do the extra chemicals every few years.... then April Anson County (Where we now get our water supply) did their Extra Chlorine (they do so every few years....) by the end of April the town decided to "flush" the water lines.... (and we are are at the end of the "flush area", so, all contaminates are sent to my end of the area....)... So water was bad for last month as well...
... and still charged over $150.oo each month for service (only used 402 gallons one month and still had to pay the same amount....)
              
So my Dad and Step-Mother have been bringing me some well water to use for making Coffee...

  1. One bit of better things... the rain that we are now getting "broke" the humid air and we are able to breath much better for now ... Humidity was making it difficult for me... and Any amount of activity and breathing would get much worse.....
    So now about to have some Coffee (was finally able to keep food on my stomach again yesterday evening... good thing too, by being sick for those few days we lost another waist-size.... and weight was below 130 lbs before we got sick....
    ... But Great to be feeling "Better", at least...

  2. Why don't you put a container out to collect the rain and drink that?

  3. We seldom get much rain here (more often than not since the mid 1980's "drought" conditions....) rains separate and part will go north around New Salem, while most of it will pass below here.... the rain then comes back together a few miles away (in Anson County).....
    ....so very little rain here this time of the year....
    and (unless there has been a recent rain) the rain water has taken all air-born toxins and contaminates and thus is "contaminated"..... (we have poultry processing and beside of it there is a "rendering plant" / "feed" company....)

  4. Hey Stacey - thanks for the message and well wishes. I have had some friends here lately so have been offline. Sorry to see how gross your water still is.

  5. We have had worse... but usually does not last this long... maybe one time within the last 30 years.... and the money that the town received from the State to fix the water system ... to which they were to add from town budget to make repairs... they instead used the funds for decorative, plastic light posts for the Main Street.... and a few benches... that was over 25 years ago..... and the water and sewer system has only gotten worse over the years.... South side of town (where the "prominent" Families dwell ) was the only ones to be replaced.....my side of this little town is always receiving "path-work" repairs.... it is a "no win" situation..... and always has been....

  6. And they just turned off the town water for now... more "patch-work" a couple of streets over.... Going to see about a "cheap" water purifier......
