When the water in ANY residence has not been used for more than 4 or 5 days...........IMHO.......
WE should run the "HOT" and "cold" water from every device for at least 4 or 5 minutes... in the showers and tubs and all sink faucets.... etc. ....run out enough to replace ALL the water that was sitting in the Hot Water Heater tank .. AND ...all water lines.
"anaerobic" bacteria found in all unused water lines is not good for you.
You would not believe what you would see...if you could see it.....
We had "city water" from fire hydrants trucked out to fill swimming pools when they were completed.
Two or three 7500 gallon tankers would unloaded that water thru a 6 inch hose........WOW....you could actually SEE anaerobic bacteria that looked like "opaque" FIVE INCH fish swimming along. Of course they all disappeared within 30 seconds or so....(because they had been exposed to air) .....That is what is in "unused" water lines......when we have not used the water for a period of time....Run out 2 or 3 hundred gallons of water.
...might even save a trip to the Doc
