"...Before we were all lulled into thinking that tap water is dirty, smelly, impure and unhealthy, we couldn't have imagined the day would come when we'd pay for it like soda pop, juice or milk..."

I haven't been lulled into thinking CITY tap water is dirty and smelly. IT IS! And I wouldn't pay 5 cents for a bottle of water.

I'm old enough to remember when public water was first "Chlorinated" and later "fluoridated". That's when I stopped drinking water from the tap.

We moved to the country and for 25 years we drank well water from the tap all day long.

Then, thinking it was time to move to the suburbs and closer to civilization, We stopped drinking water from the tap. And even our grandkids (ages 1 to 7 at the time) would say, "Gram, your water tastes funny and it smells bad too."

We sold the house in less than two years and went back to the country and well water. Of course it wasn't the ONLY reason. But my oldest grandson always comments on the terrible city water in our last house.

By the way, my husband works with boilers in the city. He has to check filters that prolong the life of the boilers. Every week or less, the filters have to be replaced because they're clogged with green slime, and some type of live worms. He'll tell you the smell is absolutely disgusting. And that water supposedly goes through treatment and purification.

I think Bob Weir is a bit gullible himself if he thinks tap water is clean OR pure.
