“SWILL!” LOL!!! Thanks. Your reward will be my little tale of the best water I ever had. I lived in Sitka Alaska from 92 to 01. A lovely town overrun with cruise ship tourists every summer. Anywho, the local water supply there comes from Blue Lake. It is in the mountains quite a ways from town. You drive to the old pulp mill (yes, pulp mill) and head up the hills from there on a dirt road. Not much fishing is done there. When the ocean fishing is do much better, why bother. The water is perfect. It needs very little treatment at all before hitting the taps of the community. The pulp mill was closed down some years before. The city was looking for ideas for its use. I kid you not, a company came in wanting to bottle the Blue Lake water for commercial sale. When I was leaving the town to move here to AZ I heard that they were talking to a chinese company that would take the water by the tanker load and bottle it in China. The old pulp mill site dock and buildings would be used for this I always thought that was a damned great idea as long as they don’t pump too much out of Blue Lake.
