The small town I grew up in the midwest had the best tap water ever for 100+ years and before that when the Sauk and Sioux Indians drank it. Then in the late 90s they added so much flouride that it is literally impossible to drink it.
There was nothing wrong with the water and they basicly made every one buy bottled water. This is prob the biggest political blunder on the local level I have seen.
Someone is making money. Maybe the bottled water industry. Maybe the chemical industry. Prob both.
This is the problem as pointed out by Charlie Reese: People (politicians) will spite entire villages and take their precious pure water (there was nothing wrong with) so they (I suspect) can make their own personal fortune.
So everyone in the town complains but it was a "state issue or county issue and nothing you can do."
The water is absolutely undrinkable. The stench of flouride is overwhelming. Perhaps they are adding too much. But they took a precious resource that people on the coasts would give anything for and ruined it.
I do believe there is some kind of conspiracy even if it's just a politician(s) taking bribes and corps making more money.
BTW, I drink the same water they used to enjoy (Im out of city limits) via a well on private property that the govt can not regulate. Best f'n water ever and 100% free. They better not try to take that.
Actually they can regulate it but so far so good. It is above specs.
We make sure of that.
