I must say some of us have the medical reasons to not be ingesting anything into our bodies that causes the filtering system to work over time.

Gracie with the up most respect I have several friends who were walking around up right and having a great time and then died from paint solvents or Dairy Farm chemicals that built up in their body and killed them well before retirement time.

On national TV many years ago they ran a story of Florida residents that were getting very sick . It was traced back to water from shower heads that entered a person sinuses thru the nose. It some cases it was very very bad infection! (It that is what was happening it probably was MOLD, that by it's nature grows in hidden dark places and shower heads are such places...spraying them weekly with bleach should fix that)

Our Cortland NY Aquifers were deemed safe yet people were getting cancer here. Companies that let chemicals run into the Citys drinking supply. Of course they bailed out of town and now manufacture your home goods in Mexico!

I want to enjoy TV and I think for me the answer will come only when I get there and have the water tested. It seems like most of us have picked a camp on this topic. Ignor it or fix it.

I still revert back to my mentors in automotive college. They said don't be a xpert! A xpert is this. A X is a HAS BEEN and a SPURT is a drip under constant pressure. "Test Don't Guess!

Great comments and concerns from all. The next best way for this community to wrap it up is TEST. Every one get it done and we compile Data from all the Village areas. I know there are those on this site and living in TV that are pretty darn good with a spread sheet. Just because it " Tasted Good" does not mean it is good for you. And also some bad smelling water can be OK but just Smelly.

I appreciate all of you who have expressed concerns positive neutral or negative.

Merry Christmas all.
Car.

I just had a birthday in November and I was born in 1939.

I have had cancer once ...when I lived in Ohio.

It takes a while for carcinogens to work on you. I probably have 30-40 good years left.

And, whatever is said about the Morse conglomerate, and their mountains of dough is that they have the cash and can fix almost anything in order to make more mountains of dough. I imagine that they can have some really dandy folks who install diatomese paste filters and can hire a chemist or two every once in awhile to test the water and keep it as clean as most in the U.S.

PLUS. None of us are really young and having children and ain't none of us are gettin' out of here alive.

The Morses may be pouring lead and arsenic into the water and chortling madly like the Republicans they are...

But they may be taking care of business too.

I see your aquifer and I raise you one osmosis.

Try not to worry Car.

See you soon. I will pour Scotch into your water as you sit by our tree.

Hugs,
Gracie
