Hey Zeke;

With regard to the bottling company here is something for you to think about. Around here there has been a massive organization that has sprung up (no pun) against Nestle corp who are pulling millions of litres a day out of our aquifer and sending it out of the watershed on a convoy of trucks every day. This site;

http://www.wellingtonwaterwatchers.ca/

Has details about it, why it is bad and why we should be putting a stop to it. If you think it is important ( and it is) you might want to use this site to model your own action group to protect your water. WATER IS THE COMMONS AND BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE NOT CORPORATIONS!!

My town water is unchlorinated untreated water off some sort of of alpine glacier. They test the heck out of it for organics weekly and it's always come up good. People drive here from miles around to fill their drinking water containers. And one bottled water company uses town water as their source.

However, there are alot of mines around here -- a federal superfund site about 3 miles below town, and according to some people, alot more that should be. I wonder how much heavy metals are leached into the drinking water -- most of the mines are below the source, but I don't know if ALL of them are. It would be interesting to send a sample in for testing.

ROFL is it a waiver? LOL maybe one day that'll be the norm.

Huh? The city warns its people not to drink the water it
        provides
for them? Now I've heard everything. How many people have sued
for damages I wonder. That makes about as much sense as the
        notion
of trusting officials we elect to represent our interests. Your
explanation makes sense. Inhalation, not skin adsorption. Yes
there's a lot of water going by and the heat helps liberate the
disolved gas.

I think in the case of chlorine it is inhaled in the shower.
The amount drunk is small in most peoples case as many people
prefer bottled beverages be they juice or soda drinks.
I know in Umatilla Oregon just drinking the water is enough to
cause fluorosis. CIty water is 6ppm. They encourage pregnant
women and children not to drink the water.

Hey Kirk;

It's this last bit that has got my attention;

Lester was shattered. He couldn't understand it. Yet
there was a reason. Despite taking care to drink only
bottled water, Lester didn't know that *much more of the
pollution-laced tap water is absorbed through the skin
from bathing and washing clothes.

Poor Lester.

*Although almost all exposure to waterborne contaminants
is known to occur via dermal absorption, no studies have
ever been done to determine the toxicity of pollution
scrubber liquor the fluoride used in water fluoridation
schemes.

Now I have heard this several times over the last little
while with regard to chlorine in tap water. It doesn't make
sense to me that my body would adsorb more chlorine (or
flourine or any other toxin) from water through skin contact
than by drinking it. When I drink water the entire amount
goes inside and has to be processed before any of it comes
out again. The internal linings have evolved to be highly
adsorbing and I'm guessing that it is moreso than the skin.
I'd like to see the proof about this claim.
