I doubt Detroit well or river water is safe to drink.

What if your local water became polluted, the sole municipality kept increasing your rates and you did not have the means to leave (because nobody wants to buy your polluted property in a dying area)? That is basically what happened in Detroit.

I’m having very good luck. I just believe people should be held responsible for stepping on the freedoms of others. The polluters and government agents who allowed it are responsible for the lack of natural drinking water. Water is as essential and natural as air and must remain available as it did in nature.

Remember the advice the late comedian Sam Kinison gave to the people of Ethiopia? MOVE!

Pollution is a natural result of having huge masses of people living in one place. To some extent the same is true in every large city in the country. After all, people in NY, LA, Chicago or Dallas don't have individual wells for a reason.

I'll bet the well quality is fine, especially in that geographic location...it was covered with a mile thick sheet of ice 15,000 years ago...

I don't mess with "what if"'s, or straw-man theory...I deal in the now, the facts, realville. If my water were to get polluted, I would clean it with charcoal, and boiling. If it was beyond cleaning, I would move.

I don't live in a municipality.

I’m having very good luck.

Fleeing a top-down authoritarian government, and coming to a country that is rapidly headed that way, doesn't sound like good luck, to me.

I believe the original post was about people not paying their water bill, and having service disconnected. If you want a service, any service, you have to pay for it.

As far as government agents go it should only be the local court...if some person, company, or corporation is polluting your water, you sue them in court to make things right.

Water is as essential and natural as air and must remain available as it did in nature.

Water is abundant, and still available in nature, but it is not a Constitutional Right. You can provide it by your own means, as I have, or you can have someone provide it for you....and pay for it.
