Something else that you might want to look into is the possiblility of a backflow issue.
Is there any places nearby that use chemicals, soaps, ect? carwash, nursery, farms, ect.  If so, they may be backflowing chemicals into yor water lines and your the one getting it.Â
It is so simple to contaminate an entire water supply system you would not believe it.
as easy as a neighbor fertilizing their yard, leave the hose running in a puddle and the water supply system experience a drop in pressure... could be from a fire down the road, a leak, a main break, anything that takes away from the static pressure of the system.
When that happens, the hose in the puddle sucks all the water in that yard into the potable water supply, boom you are drinking fertilizer from your neighbor down the road.
Â
There's no telling. There are leaking lines all over the place that no one will fix, and some farmers and flight services use rural water for mixing chemicals. But this was happening in the dead of winter, so none of that was going on. After the major break last fall, they never even issued a boil order or anything. We all just didn't drink it for a while. |
