I laughed out loud when I read the headline above the fold...in the C section of today's paper.

For those that missed it, it says..."Why Does Our Water Taste So Great?"

Recognizing that 'taste' (in anything) is highly subjective, it got me to thinking of how many people agree with this (IMHO)...'propaganda piece.'

Soooo, here's a quick poll on your own personal opinion of the tap water...here in TV.

I also recognize that maybe the newer parts of TV have a different source and the water south of 466A (and Fenney area)...might be better than the places I've rented and now own north of 466A.

In addition, a person's opinion will obviously be based on a comparison...with the water where they lived previously.

This poll is based solely on taste and smell and NOT an indication of whether the water is unhealthy, which for the record...it obviously is not.

Awful is the best word to describe the unfiltered water north of Rte. 44. One look at the pre-filter " filter " when we change it every six months would convince most their drinking water is spiked with a heavy dose of mud. Chlorine and mud simply does not taste very good.

Water here (just North of 466A) was like drinking swimming pool water. Pure chlorine taste and smell. My wife insisted on a whole house filter because she said the chlorine was destroying her hair. The filter did wonders. Had water tested after the install and it was well above "standards." It was so pure we had to add bleach tablets to the looooo. Yes, I know what bleach does (other than disinfect) so we don't need THAT discussion again. SO I rate & voted water "F" here.

Having come from an area where the water was as good as it gets I found the water here to be somewhat less than OK. But with a couple of filters on the way in and a 40 dollar refrigerator filter before drinking I can't complain.

My husband and I had a good laugh about it this morning. We have a whole house filter and a refrigerator filter and it’s perfectly drinkable now, but not nearly as good as the well water we drank in Maine.

In all honesty though, you have to give creative credit...to whomever came up with the headline.


It doesn't take much for me to imagine, that had they been working back in the day, they could have headlined something along the lines of..."Unsinkable cruise liner Titanic, scrapes iceberg."

We put in a whole house filtration system and love it.

At a friend’s house, ice melts and leaves visible particulate in the bottom of the glass.

Yep.


But at least they're...'safe particulates.'

I voted "pretty bad" since there wasn't a softer option like...........has some taste and odor.

But so do I first thing in the morning.

My intention was that the 'OK' option...would cover that.

Oh well.

We have lived in four different Villages in TV. Two north of 466A and two south of 466A. No problem with the smell or taste of the water.

Our dog wouldn't even drink the water till we had a whole-house filtration system installed. It smelled and tasted horrible. Just north of 466A. I voted Yuk.

Could not drink the water until we had Nova installed. And I come from good Wisconsin well water...
