We don't have any sulfur in our water but it does have a taste. Most people around here use it straight from the tap as it is safe for drinking. They say we also get many valuable minerals from water. Water is necessary to sustain life and very valuable.

I prefer it over bottled water.<br />But where my maternal grandmother lived when we visited as a child, they had sulfur water. <br />Drinking tea made from it made me gag.<br />Water is plentiful here in Alabama and some people (and corporations) treat it like it always will be, and that scaeres me.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-16860388541083557152014-09-07T21:39:22.028-04:002014-09-07T21:39:22.028-04:00When I first moved to Florida in 1989, I don't...When I first moved to Florida in 1989, I don't remember an odor to the water but I do remember whenever I washed my hair, the shampoo did not suds up because I was told the water is hard.<br /><br />I then had something installed that required salt tablets. Had I known better then, it was a bad idea to be drinking salt in the water.<br /><br />After 25 years, The water department must have fixed things here in South Florida......no smell, shampoo works just fine now!<br /><br />Hugs to my favorite couple!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718940729278446028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-16344175196291393262014-09-07T21:12:07.896-04:002014-09-07T21:12:07.896-04:00There is a place north of here that has terrible w...There is a place north of here that has terrible water. It makes the ice teas taste terrible, so I know what you mean. I used to drink bottled water here, but now drink tap water with lemon slices.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-24162708336705770882014-09-07T20:13:14.295-04:002014-09-07T20:13:14.295-04:00I lost my first comment.

This<br />computer is doing it's own thing<br />tonight. <br /><br />I think NC water is pretty good.<br />They announce sometime boil the<br />water because something leaked<br />into the water. We use to say<br />Water, Water everywhere and not a<br />drop to drink. Thank goodness<br />for good water.shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-36328484364852362462014-09-07T18:25:08.954-04:002014-09-07T18:25:08.954-04:00So interesting about that lake growing!

Yet people still aren't carefully conserving it and I can't tell you how many sprinkler systems still have the water hitting a lot on the sidewalk or draining down the street.<br /><br />Worst water we tasted in our travels was in Eureka, California :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-7427670826910643172014-09-07T18:18:41.125-04:002014-09-07T18:18:41.125-04:00It is funny how everyone remembers that awful sulf...It is funny how everyone remembers that awful sulfur smelling water in Florida!

I couldn't bear for my parents to turn on the bathroom sink or the shower for the stinch! Needless to say, we all drank a lot of Nehi sodas!<br /><br />My grandparent's farm in rural Minnesota was foul-tasting as well; but I don't recall it having any 'aroma.' That summer my beverage of choice was Bubble-Up!<br /><br /><br /><br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-77361707692600851612014-09-07T16:22:33.609-04:002014-09-07T16:22:33.609-04:00It's very scary for us to see Medina Lake so l...It's very scary for us to see Medina Lake so low. We keep wondering if it will ever fill up again. Well water in this area leaves ugly dark red marks on houses where people have watered their lawns.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-84963090949640142602014-09-07T16:15:05.017-04:002014-09-07T16:15:05.017-04:00The worst sulfur water I ever smelled was at Bryce...The worst sulfur water I ever smelled was at Bryce Mountain Ski Resort in Virginia...horrid enough to gag a maggot. In Florida, in some places, the water has so much iron it that it stains everything. Can't remember any bad water tastes and smells when Don and I were traveling. <br /><br />Don and I were meant to travel our life away after we met and married...he had heart problems and we both figured he'd have a massive heart attack and be gone. Didn't happen that way...14 years later he had a major PTSD episode and several months after that he was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (which crippled his hands and all joints). 13 years later he passed at age 84 having been wheelchair bound and bedridden for over 8 years. We never know what life and death are going to bring us...I'm just grateful for the years we had.<br /><br />I don't think I've been to too many funerals where someone didn't say...why do we always wait til someone dies to get together. We wait because we always think there's tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...when really there's only today.Yaya Snapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724937709679874631noreply@blogger.com
