Not sure if they use the same water source every time. Some people drink the Kool-aid and love it........ others it leaves a bitter taste in their mouth.

I added Vodka to the Kool-Aid and bought 4 houses.

Hey there PBKMaine, where did you drink your water up there?

[Challenger]

Have always used Public Tap water in
Baltimore
Gaithersburg, Md
Warrenton Va
Bel Air, Md
Hagerstown Md
2 areas in Tv

Have never needed add on filters or conditioners and drink the "Public Water" exclusively. Wife and I are both 79 and generally healthy for our age. What have we been missing? --other than unnecessary costs ?

During the times I have spent on Ocracoke Island, NC I have drunk the tap water which is salty. The locals drink it and many are pretty elderly yet spry so what the heck!

The water that comes from the taps here, tastes and smells like the water mains are connected to the local pool filtration system. Awful stuff.

What brand/type water filter do you use?
Salt/potassium or other method. Significant change in quality taste and smell? Any change in water pressure?

[thetruth]

We/I checked for a review of the water quality and it is listed as good in the villages. What does good mean? I expect it means better than some other places.

New York, where we are from, has some of the finest water in the world due to the water source in the Catskill mountains.
Oh and while we paid about twice as much for electricity, our cost for water was far less.

We left NY to escape the far higher cost of living far higher TAXES. SNOW? I miss a walk down the beach after a snow with no one else there.

We use this https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...ations-183303/ and it made a 1000x difference. Our "best water in FL" smelled and tasted like a swimming pool before the filter now we don't even use filters in our refrig. Absolutely no change in pressure.

When I run in the very early a.m. the smell from the sprinklers is so bad some mornings, I started wearing a mask.

I think you’re exaggerating a bit. Nonetheless, water companies are required to report many monthly sample tests. I worked for a water company. Exceeding thresholds was a serious issue requiring IMMEDIATE abatement procedures.

That being said, I can’t get my head around the tragedy of Flint.

It never should have taken so long...

Though unpleasant, that’s evidently from the ponds. I hope everyone knows we don’t drink that. Do you wear the mask for safety reasons? What sort of mask, if I may?

We agree. Drink filtered water from refrigerator.

Exactly.
