Oxygen / Ozone Water Treatment
Quote:
Ozone is a very strong oxidant and virucide. |

According to the presentation in a recent Resident's Academy that I attended along with information on the districtgov.org page and my water bill, it appears that we are not at all connected to Orlando water. Pumping water 60 miles doesn't make sense if you can dig a well and according to the presentations, we have wells. Districtgov.org lists three different utility companies serving different areas of the Villages - my water bill lists one of the three. There would be no need for wells or separate utility companies if our water came from Orlando. The presentation at the Academy did not go into the level of detail to know whether oxygen was used. They specifically mentioned chlorine though and since far more systems use chlorine than use oxygen I assume our utilities do not use oxygen. However, that's just an assumption and it should be relatively easy to call the local utilities to get a real answer. Also, the Villages seems to do a good job with communications, particularly through the District Weekly Bulletin. I have to believe that if this was an issue on our horizon there would have been some mention of it by now.

My doctor told me there was an oxygen shortage in central Florida when I saw him more than a week ago. He blamed it on several hospitals which were not accepting new patients and were giving arriving COVID patients a tank of O2 and a mask and sending them home.

Wow that's scary!
Hey, I just had an idea! If the ozonator is not working, how about adding chlorine, like all those thousands of water treatment plants in America that don't use ozonators? Heck, it worked on my pool back home, when that stupid ozonator the pool company sold me conked out after a couple of years! Or, here's another idea... we could just ignore the fake news that the Covid situation is so dire that a few dozen people on oxygen are capable of are sucking up all the oxygen used to treat the water supply for a million people! |

Orlando
I was in Orlando yesterday. I noticed when driving by the lakes, all of the fountains were in operation. Doesn't this help to evaporate water? It sure didn't appear anyone was concerned with saving water.

Did they check if Kennedy Space Center has any extra LOX? They use it all the time for launches.

Gotta feel for those who choose to live in such a high state of panic over whatever might be happening in this world. What a horrible way to live one's life.

Even if this was/is a current issue now happening, really, how big of a request is it to back off watering the lawns a bit? Come on, its just grass and if it has to look like crap this season, oh well...its all for the good of the people. |

There are more than 1,400 dozen people hospitalized in Florida for Covid. When I leave "a few" bucks on a tip at a restaurant or when I ask a friend for "a few" dollars or when I drive "a few" miles to the grocery store, "a few" NEVER means 1,400! Your definition of "a few" must make you very popular with your servers! The issue with oxygen in central Florida may have as much to do with transport as one poster pointed out as it has to do with overall demand. However, there is no question that hospital demand is up.

As to the question about the growth of the US population from 100 million to 350 million - there has never been any popular US leader warning AGAINST population increase - immigration was always considered good for GNP and was supposed to have zero downside. Yet, biologists know that each animal species has a HOLDING CAPACITY based on their NEED for natural resources like food and etc. I would just guess that outside of Florida there may be more and deeper wells to get fresh water from. I know as a fact that the US is one of the top 5 countries with navigable rivers. Florida's aquifer is prone to saltwater intrusion as the oceans rise - that could be a problem in the future. Overall, it was a good question - I hope to hear answers from forum experts! |
