When I was on city council of a municipality, we had a water quality issue and were ordered by the state to provide bottled water for pregnant women and small children. A couple days in, the city clerk asked me to come by the office on my way home from work. He had me fill sample bottles from each of the types of bottled water we had in the office. Couple days later, I again stopped at the office and we called KDHE and asked about the results. Samples 1-5 which came from our municipal wells were fine, but samples 6-9 all were high in nitrates, the problem that started the water rationing ordeal. When we told the lady those were samples from the bottled water, she called us liars and said she would be in town in a couple hours. I returned to city hall to be there when she arrived. She took samples, hen departed with a sneer. Couple days later we called her office. When we said who it was calling, she was suddenly out of the office. Third day, instead of Joe, the clerk calling, I called and just gave my name. She was right on the line, but when I said where I was, she hung up. Supervisor later called and told us that we would be working with a different KDHE rep. Most bottled water is taken straight from a municipal water supply. Sounds ok? How many miles of lead pipe do you have on your farm? What about asbestos lines? Many older cities have both, and some have serious issues, but they still sell bottled water from them. Water is life. Water will absorb nearly every chemical it comes in contact with whether it be iron, mercury, or orange juice. Some of that stuff in trace amounts will eventually kill us. I lost a sister to cancer of the appendix, and her husband passed a few years later from colon cancer. Whether the pollutants which caused them came from water or food is unknown. When I was a kid, dad carried a water jar. he used a glass jar and wrapped it with newspaper. Many layers, then bound with baler twine. I can still remember the taste. When I stared working construction in the summers, I got a thermos gallon container. It had a different taste than dads glass jar. Same was true for my Army canteen. I managed to get a metal one at one point. Like it better than that old OD plastic one. Now I get my water from a deep well. I have a reverse osmosis system. Too a while to get used to the taste. Saw a feature iirc with Mike Rowe where he went to a place that made ultra pure water. He commented that it was weird to drink, absolutely no sensation of flavor. They also said the ultra pure water was dangerous to drink in quantity.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
