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!

>> That water isnt safe for animals either.
 
@Burnsway:
 
Say what? Please don't go on the news and say that. Animals can drink from street puddles and be completely healthy.
 
@buffaloglenn:
 
Yea and thats why they have to be dewormed...lol. My dogs will not be drinking it. They may not get as sick as us but why chance it.

I feel like I've had one nonstop stomach virus for awhile now. I know being pregnant can do that to a person, but part of me wonders if all that's going on with the water isn't just making things worse? 4951
