Beginning on March 16, our water will be different.
We've been told that a lot of our water will now come from the Neuse River. Before it always came out of the ground. Government has stepped in to tell us how much water we can deplete from underground.
Our water supplier is changing over from chlorine to chloramines. They claim that chloramines last longer and have virtually no odor or taste. (Now they are telling us that long term use of Chlorine may increase our risk of developing serious health issues.)
Great idea, huh?But, they say dialysis patients have to take special precautions. In the dialysis process, water comes in contact with the blood across a permeable membrane. Chloramines in that water would be toxic. Also this water will be harmful to fish and other aquatic animals.
Doesn't this make you just want to go get a quick drink of water? What kind of water do you drink where you live?
