If you have a new telephone listing you would of already gotten at least a dozen calls from people trying to sell you water purification systems. In fact I even got two more this week and we've been here since July.

There are plenty of people willing to tell you how terrible the water is. My favorite is when they say they are calling from Home Depot with a 'Welcome Kit' which includes a $25 gift certificate which they would love to present to me in person. Of course, while visiting they would gladly perform a water evaluation test free of charge. My neighbor fell for one of the calls and now has a $3100 system in his garage which puts out a little stream of water from a special tap on the side of his sink.

You should do a search on this site about drinking water, this topic comes up every month. Personally I don't mind the water for showers, coffee or cooking but we drink bottled water when thirsty.
