Well, if they can’t afford it from the store, they can just drink from the toilet bowl.

My dog does.

But for added ‘rawness’, don’t flush it.

Seems like the more “educated” a person is, the more stupid stuff they end up believing in.

I drink raw water, I'm fine. At $30 a gallon, if I wholesale it for $20, my only questions. Can I get a premium for stream or pond surface water. And how long will it be, aka how much can I make, before the DNR and health authorities shut me down. They may not have those things in CA.

I have been drinking raw well water for years, nothing wrong with it at all.

I’m all for getting “good bacteria” into your system but I’d rather do that with beer and cheese!

They are doing this to distort raw milk, which is better for you than pasteurized milk, providing the cow is healthy.

Raw water is not safe like raw milk. They are trying to use the same phraseology to legitimize untreated water.

Well, we just pull up water from our well up here in the State of Jefferson. Raw, unfiltered and just clean good water. Didn’t know I could get $30 a gallon for it. Maybe its time to pack up the truck with bottles of water and head down to a Farmer’s Market there in SIlycone Valley!

the water my folks use comes from an aquifer down from a glacier on Mt. Olympus in Washington state. It’s clear and pure and sweet. They pump it up from 260 feet down.

Rural people have drank raw water since the beginning of time, myself included. I have to say there are more issues than just the possible illnesses you expose yourself to.

In our area the well water is extremely high in flouride- and has done a ton of damage to people’s teeth in this area before it was known or there was a solution. There are different issues in different areas. Now there are water associations that were formed to treat and supply the water in small communities all around here and likely the rest of the country.

Some of the best tasting water I have ever drank was out of a well or stream- and some of the worst. I was raised with the knowledge that “raw water” could very well be dangerous to drink. Having said that I will say rarely have I known anyone to get sick from drinking water from wells and streams but it does happen. Most people now get their own wells tested for peace of mind. I know many people that have a well and buy bottled water to drink and cook with.

I will say I would not in a million years drink water gathered by strangers and sold in a jug. The chance of contamination along the way seems pretty good to me. People are just getting dumber.

When I lived in Colorado, accidentally acquired Giardia, as so known a “beaver fever” , from feces contaminated water. Being a newbie from the Midwest, did not know what I had contracted, but Sh!t my guts out for a week before I got treatment.

And I didn’t drink the water, just might have touched it, which was enough for me to contract it.

Another sign that people have too much money and too little sense. Affluenza.

I could drink “raw water” from my well every day.

So much limestone and shale scale that I filter with a ZeroWater pitcher.

I guess I’m not hip enough for Silly-con valley.

"The best (or worst) part about this whole raw water trend is that it actually leads to water that expires just like other foods."

True. The germs multiply. Well water is good stuff. It should be tested from time to time, though, especially in new wells after the cone of silt is pumped out. Smaller cisterns are safer than larger cisterns (600 gallons or less, my rule of thumb), although water from larger cisterns can be tested during the last day that it is kept. Or it can be purified,...speaking of which,...

Bio-sand filters can work well to clean biologically dirty water if properly built and maintained. A UV light made for disinfecting water will improve on that. Chloramines can also be used. It's a cool way to drink pond water, but it should also be tested for insecticides and minerals. There are free plans for bio-sand filters here and there around the Net (e.g., agricultural extension services in sane states).

Drink up!
