What are they trying to shovel on me?

Probably new taxes for a new water filtration system. ;-)

If that's the word from city hall, I'd keep drinking the bottled water until you hear otherwise. Or consider getting one of those filters you add to the tap, or something like that.

You can get the filtered water at Walmart pretty cheaply.

The reality is you probably have to consume HUGH doses to worry about any of those things (kind of like having to feed five pounds of saccarin to a 2 lb. rat to give it cancer). But, it never hurts to be cautious.

That's what I figure about the hugh doses...but I don't want the jedis growing up on it.

I'm gonna look into getting one of those stand-up water dispensers...nothing fancy, just efficient. Just get my bottled water from walmart in the 5 gal bottles.

Our bath water looks like pond water.

Have you tried getting one of those 'under the sink' water filtration systems? We have one at our kitchen sink, and use that water for cooking and drinking water. It involved cutting a hole in the stainless steel sink area by the faucet, but it wasn't very expensive, and we only change the filter out once a year, or maybe a little less. The filters are not that expensive, either. Check it out next time you're at Wal-Mart. I'm sure they have something there. You might think about doing the same thing for the water line going into your washing machine.
