I drink Crystal Geyser, it's actually spring water, bottled at the source. Water like Aquafina, and Dasani are tap water that's treated. A Guy

Today (its 5am and been up all night) and got nothing done as Max wanted to play , so we are off to bed now

I drink water out of the tap without a filter. To the best of my knowledge I'm not dead yet. What do you think people drank before some clown came up with bottled water. Then people lined up to drink tap water out of a bottle that was called sparkling on the bottle.

Same here. Back in my native Finland the average tap water is better than average bottled water, it has been tested by so many institutes and universities that I have to believe it. In fact, where I was born the water came from the same spring than to the local brewery; we got it from tap, they bottled and sold the same water.

Here in my adopted home country Germany the water is almost as good. I drink almost exclusively tap water here, even in pubs and restaurants I order "ein bißchen Leitungswasser" (a bit of tap water) with my whisky.

Anyway, as far as I have understood this legionella stuff correctly, it really spreads only through the vapors, through inhaling the fumes and vapors caused by contaminated water like when in shower or bath. Drinking it should be quite safe, you do not inhale a lot of water fumes when drinking.

Yes I believe it has to be an aerosol to get into the lungs.

Well I drink tap water turned into coffee so it's been boiled, do you think I'm safe.

You wont get me paying extortionate prices for bottled water.

 

[HarriePateman]

Tea for me

Oops... BBC NEWS | UK | England | Northamptonshire | Sickness bug found in tap water.

I used to work in Northampton.

Sadly it happens usually by the water treatment plant it's self but with open water reservoirs it's surprising it doesn't happen more frequently

 

[kado897]

Pittsford reservoir is a big one but it's not just open water that can be infected. The area I live in is supplied from artesian wells but we still got a cryptosporidum contamination a few years back.

 

[ThrashZone]

Underground reservoirs often originate from open water/ lakes.. and feed other or attach to other open water lakes,
Pretty wild stuff,
Not sure if you ever watched the cave or similar movies of explores following these underground water reservoirs,
Follow the current

 

[kado897]

I guess and it is also in a river valley with lakes. The district name is a clue. Three Rivers.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep as far as I've read top water feeds ground water the old ground saturation and ground erosion theory ?

I'm thinking that all water was drank by a animal of some kind at least once. That means that all water was once urine.

You sure have a fancy way of putting things.

I just turned off the computer and went outside to do some lawn mowing.
Once outside I noticed someone had mowed my lawn. It's very quiet in my house so I didn't hear a thing.

Asking around I found out it was my neighbor lady. She knows mowing is a very difficult thing for me to do and just mowed the lawn.
Good people are just hiding all over the place, you just don't hear about them like you do the bad people.
So I thought I would share a story about a good person. I don't ever know her name.

 

[COMPUTIAC]

Very nice of her to just do it for you.
You are very lucky, not too many like her left in the world.

Flowers or/and a box of candy would be a nice payback...after you find out her name.
