PA water is the worst, we are high in both iron & calcium. So my water tastes like blood, stains like a crime was committed in tubs/showers and skin, plus we get hard water stains all despite having both an iron & hard water treatment system (that wasn't cheap). I have numerous reasons I'd like to move back to NYC and towards the top is the water! not sure where in PA you live, but my husband is a municipal engineer and frequently reminds me that Philadelphia actually has some of the best quality water in the entire country. I’m in the Poconos. No municipal water in most of my area. We run a well at the old house. The new house has community water serviced by AquaPA. It’s so high in chlorine it smells like a swimming pool. But I’ll take it over the well any day. Honestly, I’ve tasted Philly water and it doesn’t taste at all very good to me. |

We have well water 💦 and it’s delicious which isn’t that surprising since ice mountain gets their water from here. The best water is Fiji water- it’s like drinking crisp mountain air

All our neighbors swore how good their well water was with the same treatment system we had. I told R they are all native to the area and don’t know good water. 🤣 |

I don't mean to brag, but Oregon has amazing water. So delicious right out of the tap. I’m totally going to brag. Tasmanian water is amazing. Tasmanian EVERYTHING is amazing. |

Right now, it's a treat that I'll buy myself every so often. |

^ yep, sad he hasn't been found. The brother of British actor Julian Sands has said he has come to terms with the fact "he has gone". Mr Sands, 65, disappeared on 13 January while hiking in the Baldy Bowl area of the San Gabriel Mountains, north of Los Angeles. His brother Nick, who lives in Gargrave, North Yorkshire, said he had already said his "goodbyes". Californian officials have been unable to locate the actor, saying deadly storms have hampered search efforts. "I have come to terms with the fact he's gone and for me that's how I've dealt with it," Nick Sands said. The financial adviser said he preferred that to thinking of his brother lying injured on the mountain side. But he said clearly his brother's three children and wife were still hopeful he would be found. "We are all still hoping I guess, but I know he's gone in my mind and because of that I've already said my goodbyes." Speaking on Tuesday, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said: "Numerous ground and air search efforts have taken place. As of this time, Mr Sands has not been found and no evidence of his current location has been discovered. "The search will continue, weather and ground conditions permitting." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-64397280 |

They found another missing hiker that was missing since Sunday morning. I think this man is 75. The search and rescue described the conditions as “brutal”, with wind gusts reaching 80 mph. He went missing in the same area as Julian.
There’s also another missing hiker that has yet to be found. I think he went missing on the same day, but not the exact same area.

Apparently, he “carpooled” (that’s how it’s worded) with others to go hiking. I’m not sure if he was actually hiking with the people he went with or not. The group was supposed to meet up at the car at 2 pm on Sunday. He didn’t show. |
