I was in the real estate business for many years so I’m very familiar with E.coli contamination in wells. The source of E.coli is feces from humans (and other mammals) so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that E.coli is often found in rural wells. After all, what is on the ground surface will eventually find its way into the water source.
Acceptable Levels of HUMAN WASTE in municipal water – 3 to 20%!
The municipal water from a town near me was confirmed to have E.coli contamination and “safety precautions” have been issued. In fact, a “boil water” warning was issued over 18 months ago and it’s still in place.
I laugh when the locals expressed their shock over “how this could ever happen”! Little do most of them know, their municipal water is just recycled sewage with acceptable levels of solid human waste in the 3-20% range.
With that in mind, you can bank on having a little E.coli from the feces in your water every once in a while!
QUESTION: Who pooped in the water?
ANSWER: EVERYBODY!
The chemicals that it would take to remove ALL contaminants in municipal water would be enough to kill off a small country. Instead, we ingest a few hundred chemicals and we live with the consequences.
Far too many people believe that commercially bottled water is the “safest” water you can drink. Not only is it not any safer than your tap water, but it is also wreaking havoc on your health in ways you can’t begin to imagine. Ignorance about bottled water could be your biggest downfall when it comes to your health and the scam behind the process is enough to make Bernie Madoff look like Mother Theresa.
Earlier this year millions of bottles of bottled water were recalled by Niagara Bottling company (based out of Canada) due to E.coli contamination. If this water comes from a deep source natural spring as implied by Niagara, who (or what) pooped in the water?
If the water source for the Niagara brand waters is like most of the other commercially bottled water sources, it’s coming from the local tap and not some mysterious “spring” somewhere. How does it feel to buy your local water twice?
How did E.coli from feces find its way into the supply?
Niagara issued a statement saying its disinfection process would have kept E.coli out of its bottled water even if tainted water made it into the plant. If that’s the case, how did E.coli sneak into the bottled water? So much for the “disinfection process”.
This following statement provided by the Niagara spokesman makes no sense at all, no matter how many times you read it:
USA Today – June 23, 2015
Niagara spokesman Stan Bratskeir said contamination was found at a water provider, Far Away Springs, based in Auburn, Pa. He said no contamination was found in the water obtained from Far Away Springs or in Niagara’s own finished products.
Is there a point to this rant of mine? You betcha!
My point is that you need to take control of the water you’re drinking, otherwise accept the feces and cancer-causing chemicals and call-it-a-day. If you’re banking on the FDA to watch out for you; think again. The FDA doesn’t test commercially bottled water so you’re on your own. In this case, ignorance IS NOT bliss.
I’ve taken control of my water source once and for all. You won’t find chlorine or fluoride in my water. You won’t find parasites in my water. You won’t find E.coli in my water. You won’t find (up to) 300 legally allowable chemicals (many known to cause cancer) in my water. You won’t find pharmaceuticals in my water. You won’t find ANY amount of feces in my water. You won’t find me tipping toxic water bottle to my lips…EVER.
Now you know “the rest of the story”. If you continue to drink water bottled in plastic known to have as many as 20,000 chemicals, do it at YOUR OWN RISK.
As for me and my family….it’s only THE BEST.
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR WATER ONCE AND FOR ALL?
