I bought a Brita filter. Still don't like it. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif[/img]

I don't like BSG water either - prior posts have been tongue in cheek, as I have spring water, though I live in town limits. My water is great, as I drink about a gallon per day. And I don't have to pay those exorbitant rates due to Polly's years of mismanagement.

And by way, my 7th grade science teacher allowed us to play with mercury - we'd spill it and chase it across the floor. And it's never affected my motpor skilsl or abitily to tpye adn copmhredn, nro hsa it afefcted my add/hd and my abitily ot ...wtaherev. I fogert rael esayily...

We had a tube of mercury at the house that we played with, basically as a toy.

BSG water is pretty bad. Tends to leave a really bad film in any container over a period of time too.

BSG water sucks actually, but because of the chlorine IMO. I'd feel better drinking water straight from Big Cherry that after the town treats it.

Norton's chlorine situation isn't much different. Smells like Clorox coming out of the tap.

Yep, same here. They think they can run an employeee through the program at MECC, and produce a chemist. But then again, BSG is all about appearance.

I remember breaking a thermometer and playing with mercury. It tasted funny though.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: centennialdawg</div><div class="ubbcode-body">News Center 5 has just reported that you should not eat the fish, mainly the small mouth bass in Big Cherry reservoir but twice a month due to high levels of mercury found in the fish. Where does that put BSG's water supply for human consumption? And how did the mercury get into the reservoir? </div></div>

I haven't read the entire thread, but there are no smallmouth bass in BCR.

You just don't know how to catch them, amateur. Maybe if you had 7000 rods and reels instead of 6999 you'd have better luck. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
