Really? At your age you have no idea what "municipal water" is?

It's water the does not come from one's own private well. It's provided by
your municipality. It flows from the tap and you receive a bill for it at
regular intervals.

I have no idea how she got to be 61 years old and remain so completely
clueless. We know she's not hauling buckets of water from Spada Lake
to her house.

I don't know municipality is either and I can't be bothered to use the
dictionary. I could however get free spring water near Martha Lake though. I
would have to bang my own containers.

Oh My Goodness. You really are that stupid.

Oh goody, why don't you do that? Since you couldn't actually get the
delivered groceries in off the front porch without pretending to be an
acrobat who had to drag them inside lying down... I don't know how you
expect me to believe you'd go haul water.

Why not join John Kuthe in crowing about how you're making the
environment all better and sing Kumbaya?

Meanwhile, if you can turn on a faucet and water comes out, flush the
toilet (NO, I don't want to hear again about toilet issues or toilet
paper) you are on a municipal water supply. Ignorance is is bliss, eh?
Maybe you stuck your ex-husband with that bill but someone sure is
paying for it.

Julie, 'Municipal water' is another name for Tap water. That
terminology may not be used for it where you are in common language so
was not immediately recognized. If I used the term 'municiple water'
to most of my friends, they'd look at me like I'd grown a 3rd eyeball.

Country folks just call it "city water", even if it's a county utility.

I wouldn't and I don't. I've never seen an available parking spot there when

Why would you think I'm making the envirnment better? People here are pretty

Really? I know people who have wells. They can flush their toilet and water
comes out of their tap. Sooo... I guess that means they too are on a
municipal water supply? Sheesh. Way to (pardon the pun) muddy the water
further. I pay the water bill.

Guess I'll have to look up the word "municipal". I know we have a municipal
court here. Not sure what the word means though. And... In looking it up, I
still don't see how that relates to my water because Alderwood Water serves
quite a few cities.

We're on tap water, meaning we have water coming out of our taps. But
we're not on town/municipal water. We collect rain water in big tanks.

Tap water can come from a private well on one's own property. Sheldon's
does. Mine used to.

It can also come from a cistern. Dave Smith has one, as does Bruce.

Sadly, you've said that you never treat it.
A bit of chlorine occasionally would kill all the little ones
in your water and the chlorine *will* dissipate within several
hours if your tank is open.

I know fresh rain water is good and pure but not after it
sits in a tank for a long time.

Does it taste or smell a bit "swampy?"
I remember you said you two quit drinking it.

Anyway, a question. Since you rely on rain water, is it a
reliable source? Do you ever get a dry time and no water
in your tanks?

You think that's funny? There is a small apartment building in Toronto
with 'booster' pumps for pressure and some residents have to be careful
to not get their asses burned if they remain on the throne while flushing.

She is willfully ignorant. Sadly, she is not the only one here who fits
that bill. There are a few people who defend her and refuse to see her
for the liar she is.

I would only call it tap water to distinguish it from bottled water.
The water at my kitchen and bathroom sinks is tap water. The stuff that
fills my toilet tank comes from the same source, but I would not call it
tap water or toilet water.

My water comes neither from my own well nor from my municipality.

It comes from a water company.

A later post of mine referenced cisterns. Frankly, the whole issue is too complicated
for her to understand. She turns the tap and water comes out. What else is there
to think about?

I don't think we should ask her about her electricity or gas. It just

Well... we know John Kuthe's electricity is magical and it's better than

It smells and tastes clean. But when I check the level, I sometimes
see a little frog or spider against the inside wall, above the water
level. So now we boil it before we drink it. We're probably the only
ones in the area who do that.

We had the worst drought in a generation recently. At the end of it,
our tanks were still have full.

The local government is the entity that negotiated with Alderwood Water
to supply water to the town, thus, "municipal water" Some town operate
the water supply plant, others contract the service. Town still has some
control.

Rain water is not always clean. It can pick up contaminants, like the
acid rain. If it passes through trees or runs off the roof, it washes
off the bird poop on the way. I'd want to treat it to drink it.

You're a city man. You have a towel warmer. And a bum warmer. You tell
dad jokes

Authorized by your municipality. You don't have a choice of suppliers.
Depending on local laws, you may not be allowed to have a well.

Maybe Gruce can collect all the info here, then develop an
ingredient list for his water source. Lets see, frog ****, spiders,
bird shit ...

All of them were always this way. I shudder to think of how they were as
kids.

We are not allowed to use it here. Some people were catching it and using it
to water their gardens. That seemed fine to me as they are not drinking it,
but it is frowned upon. Not sure why.

Civics class? I don't know what that is either. Wasn't offered at my school.

I just asked my mom if she knew what municipal water was. She didn't know
either. It's not a term we use here.

Thanks. We just don't call it that here. Probably no need for that term as
everyone gets their water from them.

Bullying other kids from the safety of a group. On their own, they're
pussies.

May have been called Social Studies or similar. You don't graduate
without some lessons in how the government works.

Civics is the study of citizenship and government. ... Students learn
how power and responsibility are shared and limited by government, the
impact American politics has on world affairs, the place of law in the
American constitutional system, and which rights the American government
guarantees its citizens.
