1. I hope they find a solid resolution to this so you don't have to keep dealing with it.

So awful.

I suppose at this point even boiling it isn't going to help.

Have you guys been having to collect rain water or just buy bottled water?

9. There are "forever toxins" in rainwater.

13. Don't be so dramatic.

There are problems with rainwater in various degrees, but there are also solutions.

A lot of contamination comes from when the rain water hits the environment. Bird poop on the roof, etc...



AND @ 3 min 53 sec it talks about how rain water is more pure than many forms of water

These people have been using rain water exclusively for 10 years and they aren't dead yet. BUT it requires effort and adaptation.

14. CDC - "To lower your risk of getting sick, consider using rainwater only for uses

such as watering plants you don't eat or washing items that are not used for cooking or eating."

2. Oh yum yum,..

What looks like strong black coffee,... coming out of your drinking water pipes.

What a nightmare.

3. I thought Republicans wanted to just drown government in a bathtub

not dissolve it.

6. Oh - you can almost hear the laughter from every (segregated) Mi'ssippi country club:

"They're finally getting their kind of water! Harty-har-har!"

(I lived there for years - and can tell you that would be no exaggeration)

4. A sample in a bag wrapped in a bow should be delivered to

every city manager and administrator and every member of the state legislature. In many communities, this would be met with marching in the streets. It’s unconscionable.

7. Them - and Michigan's Rick Snyder

What he did to the people of Flint stands as one of the great, unpunished crimes against humanity so far in the 21st century.

[BigmanPigman]

5. Gross, that's disgusting !!

[czarjak]

8. Horrific.

[Chainfire]

10. Starbucks will be raising hell about all of that free coffee.

11. Uranus Corporation must've won the contract

[MagaSmash]

12. This is on Tate Reeves. Your "Gubner"
