Greg- yes, please check on the reported expense of the additive.

First off, I feel for anyone who would see a child harmed by drinking or bathing in water supplied from a trusted source. A source not easy to avoid- how many urban homes have a well backup, or can truthfully afford bottled water for drinking, cooking and bathing? That must be a terrible feeling.

I read where the water treatment facility- again, not a politician or appointed representative- made the decision to use lime as the additive rather than another chemical. Since the Detroit water previously used had already been processed, the new-source raw river water changed dramatically in composition, and an incorrect action was chosen.

At work, one of my roles is to operate our water treatment plant. We take straight lake water and clean it up to the quality that it will not even conduct electricity. On shift last night, we were making about 650 gallons per minute of clean water. We also have local municipal water as a source, and blend it with the lake water, as both have their pros and cons. But, I have the luxury of on-staff Chemistry and many electronic monitoring systems, and, most of all, a very small distribution network as compared to a large urban city. I can react to results and change quickly.

It does get political when sample results, including end user complaints of smell, taste, and skin irritation are ignored. Then testing shows elevated levels of lead in home water supplies, but response is VERY slow. Poor choices on top of a poor choice.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
