As in drinking water.
Here it's pretty good. Probably better than bottled water, but perhaps that isn't saying much.
-
It's fine here too; ours is collected as rain and runoff from peaty moorland to the south, so it's very soft and tastes better than bottled water if it's left to stand for a day for the chlorine to dissipate. I store it in a couple of big jugs so that I've always got a supply of dechlorinated water.
-
For the most part fine unless they are adjusting something or there is a big pipe break nearby then it takes awhile for everything to get back to normal
-
Wanna sip?

Actually this photo makes it look alot better than it actually is, normally the river is the color of coffee.
They purify it and run in through ancient lines that break every 3 weeks or so in cold weather, hard water, and it's sometimes whitish from all the chemicals. :P
-
It's excellent, actually. :)
-
wet.
-
it comes off thy grimness, so natrually it tastes wonderful
-
Our water (Indiana) is OK to piss in, but I wouldn't want to drink it.

Perhaps all that pissing in the water hasn't helped.
(obviously you are referring to its use as in the toilet).

I do something similar, I fill up a cleaned out 3 litre plastic milk bottle with water and keep it in the fridge. I find cooler water tastes better to me.
-
Chlorinated and flourodated.
I don't notice the taste of chlorine when drinking the water, but it's noticable when snorted.
-
Why are you snorting drinking water?
When ever any water gets up my nose, it feels like a burning pain beyond pain.
-
The tap water here at work has elevated levels of fecal matter. :zombiefuck: I do not drink it!!!
-
Ours is chlorinated and filtered from this body of water. (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Jordan+Lake+NC&fb=1&cid=0,0,11682258373705682910&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image)
It tastes exactly as it sounds.

Cleaning out my nasal passages after insufflating drugs.
Noses are highly sensitive to chemicals on contact.

I hate cold water; my teeth are sensitive and I find it generally unpleasant. I keep mine at room temperature.

Ours comes from here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=glasgow,+uk&ie=UTF8&ll=55.746004,-4.420967&spn=0.020484,0.055275&t=h&z=14).

Both actually. Fewer people pissing anywhere would be better, in my book.
I am extremely sensitive to minerals of various sorts. I can't really taste much else (thank god for textures), but I have a very strong repulsion to lime, chalk (even some ceramics) and compounds of sulphur, which are plentiful in our well or lake water supplies. I can't even cook with our native water, because the minerals will spoil the dish.
I use softened, RO water (for like thirty years, now) exclusively for drinking, cooking, teeth brushing, coffee or tea making, etc. and I sometimes have to hold my breath for long periods in the shower. I actually prefer chlorinated city water, because it overwhelms my olfactory sense and masks the scent of other offensive compounds when I shower. I prefer the headache of chlorination to the nausea and scrubby feeling of these particular minerals.

Don't you love the fact that there are standards for fecal matter in city water greater than ZERO!
-
Yeah, I get this thing where I can only stand making a cup of tea from water that has been boiled in a stove top kettle and not an electric one. With water boiled from an electric kettle I get an overwhelming metalic taste in my mouth, which I cannot stand! :grrr:
-
Toxic so I here, little blue rocks, mom said she see things in the water, but I never do. The water qualitity report says its fine, but I herd they need a new tower and won't fix it.
My water makes plants grow :wanker: I was like no shit :laugh: I don't mean cum, its usually clear like water, even with high doses of b vitamins.
I had my urine test for metabolism of wheat by products, that were drug like, for defective metabolism. They found none, and I ate alot of it that day.
-
Our water, like Peter's, comes off peat moorland, so is generally superior in taste to most bottled waters. 8)
-
We have great water here, but it is chlorinated and fluoridated. It comes from a mountain stream which is fed by snow melt.
-
Very good. Most Swedish water is, even in the big cities.
-
Our water is chlorinated but not fluoridated AFAIK, there was a big controversy about that awhile back.
To me it tastes very good when cold, but it leaves a soft pink film in toilets and dog bowls, dunno what that is. :dunno:
-
In the tiny town I grew up in, there was like a reservoir.
Problem is, there was some sort of protected turtle or something that lived there too... and pooed.
So, how was the water ? A bit shitty :thumbup:

I'm guessing your childhood Kool-Aid tasted a bit...speshul. :sick:
-
The water where I live has several chemicals in it, including hydrogen :zombiefuck:. Luckily, there is also oxygen :thumbup: in the water here, although there's only about half as much oxygen as hydrogen.
-
Atoms, that is. An oxygen atom is 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom, so counted in actual mass a water molecule contains 8/9 of oxygen and only 1/9 of hydrogen.
-
Just noticed this thread. The water quality where I grew up was fine. Since moving to N. Ireland I've found it undrinkable from the tap. Even small quantities give me severe diarrhea. The people who grew up here do not appear to have this problem.
-
we have severn trent water - allegedly from the river severn. nah it's pants. i always boil it first.
-
Here near the coast you usually have to drill your wells, if you don't have communal water. Drilled wells give excellent water, though most water from lakes and rivers in Sweden is drinkable after slight purification.
-
Most of the water here is frozen, right now.
I would not drink it anyway; too much mineral content.
I only drink purified water, but I drink a helluva lot of it.
I do not mind peeing in our local water, much. Mostly, the local water is good enough to pee in.
I can shit in it too, without overmuch angst.
-
I rarely drink dihydrogen monoxide by itself at home. But I will drink it in cups of tea, coffee and hot chocolate as well as Soda Streams.
-
Our water is mostly wet. And fluoridated.
We were close to running out a few months ago, but we had some rain and we are good for a couple of years.
-
I'm glad our water is fluoridated.
I heard about the major water restrictions you had over your way, MOSW.
When I was in Toowoomba a few years ago I was surprised to see that every house had a water tank. I think we should do the same here in the West instead of depending on dams. Every year on the news we get shown how the dam water levels are getting lower and lower.

Our dam capacity is huge, our main dam holds twice as much water as Sydney Harbour. But our droughts go for years. We were down to about 40% and we are now back up to about 83%. A lot of inland towns were completely out of water and had to truck it in. I think we can go for a couple of years now with zero rain before we have to start worrying again.

Wow, I never knew it got to be that bad. I thought not being able to wash the car was bad. We have sprinkler rosters but it doesn't stop people from watering their lawns by hand.
One reason why I think our dams are getting lower is population growth. A lot of people are moving here from elsewhere and others are having families. Before the Coronavirus there was a house building boom. New estates popping up everywhere. So there's more need for water.
-
The water here is pretty good right out of the tap. When I was a kid in Florida we had sulfur water :zombiefuck: My cousin liked it for some reason though and would always drink the well water at her house they used for the garden which was far more sulfury than the city water from the tap
-
I wonder if your cousin has any health problems from doing that...

Well she's a bit crazy but that runs in the family :green: Other than that none that I know of

What are the levels like now, after the rain you had?
The water is good here, Kayleigh drinks it straight out of the tap. I won't drink it unless it's almost frozen.
-
Water? You mean like in the toilet?
-
Ours is perfectly drinkable. It comes from the river upstream and is stored in two reservoirs.
You can smell the chlorine in it when you shower though.
The water where dad is comes from the artesian basin/bore water. When I went out there last before xmas, he said he's switched to drinking it and I realised he'd finally gone mad :zombiefuck:. The council put sodium in it so it leaves a white thin film on all my stepma's plants when she waters the garden. Plus it runs hot from the cold tap in summer. Forget a nice lather when you wash your hair.
The worst water I think I've ever tasted is at Grafton NSW. I dunno what they put in there but it's bloody weird.
