We're in Trailwood Village and our water looks fine. However, I'm going to pull out the Berkey water filter and use that for our drinking and cooking water from now on. They sell additional filters that remove flouride and I'm going to use those, too. 4951

Is it just me, or does the directions of  the kit say that it can be yellow with no gas bubbles, meaning no coliform? Is that liquid on top? Did gel rise to surface? My point being this post needs more details on the results of the test, this picture is hard to analyze.  4951

So here is my second thread on the water issue. I decided to test two water samples I collected from the faucet when that nasty, brown crap was coming out. I went to Home Depot and bought a H2O K Plus water test kit. I tested for Iron, Lead, Copper, Pesticides, Coliform etc. in the water. Unfortunately the water came back positive for Coliform. I have attached a pic of the water test and will post a pic of what the water looks like undisturbed after two days. Absolutely disgusting! My test did not show lead or pesticides, in the water (but I would like to run it again to be safe). The Chlorine, Iron and Copper content was well above normal which I expected. So these are my INDEPENDENT Tests. No, I am not a biologist nor a scientist so I cant give you a paper on it. However, I know one thing, I don't care what any city councilmen says about the water being safe, I am NOT drinking or cooking with it any longer. And for those that do not know what Coliform is here is the definition:Coliforms are a group of bacteria that are used as indicators of the potential presence of pathogens, viruses or parasites in a sample. These microbes are defined as a group of bacteria having specific properties including ability to grow at 35C, in the presence of bile salts and able to ferment lactose.Thank God my lease is coming to end because I am out of here!
