I believe it Chemar... Florida is sooooo polluted and your fresh water lake,
may be GONE in 10 yrs!

Where we are in the city...we still have good water. But up North we are forced to get it out of Lake Huron. The freighters are dumping ballast and other obnoxious waste and our whole Northern shore is now fairly unsafe.
I've been double filtering it for over 20 yrs now. And getting laughed at by the cousins. But I see in the last 5 yrs they are now filtering too!
With no electricity manual filtering is a challenge and time consumer!
I take some bottled up there, but it doesn't last long. We boil water too,
but that consumes the propane which 150 dollars a tank! No easy way!
(we use PUR filters)

BTW the water main repairs we have been having...are a nightmare too. Last week when they finally dug ours up...red sludge
came out when it was opened. We had to run all our faucets and toilets for a LONG time and we are still running them a LONG time.
One toilet plugged up the tank mechanism, and it wouldn't stop running.... and my husband had to fix it. And it is NOT over YET!
