What?
Did all the rain barrels explode?
"Artesian wells" drilled in solid rock are not all they're cracked up to be. I've seen some of the worst "drinking water" in my life come from some of these low producing deep wells that can contain sulfur, iron, uranium, radon gas etc. Oh Yeah! It's got minerals.
People spend thousands of dollars on this crap water. I think if they just treated their rain water they'd be way ahead and have better water.
It rains 40+" a year here.
Wells can vary widely in quality even in a small area. The church I go to has well water with sulfur like a skunk. Neighbors three doors down from the church have a well and it’s clear and clean, and no it’s not due to extra water treatment.
