It is true that most municipal drinking water in America comes from a source that is downstream from a waste waster plant. Those plants are regulated to only discharge fairly clean water. In most cases, the effluent is cleaner than the body of water it is dumping into.

Spavinaw only has one small waste water plant in its watershed. The plant services Decatur, Arkansas population 1,700.

RM, there's a thread over in "national and international politics" which you started and called me out in which needs your attention....Here's a helpful link.

It don't bother me... we have doubled the average age in large part from having water treated with chlorine, so I figure anything past about 40 is just icing on the cake.  Even it it does mean getting some chlorine by products.  Knew someone who went visiting to a nearby third world country and came back with typhoid - most likely from the water.  Takes WEEKS to recover, even with the anti-biotics.  And leaves one messed up for a while longer.

We didn't used to live long enough to die from the things that kill us now.

That's what I was getting at.  And typhoid, plus other contaminated water things was a huge reason for that.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

That's one reason why beer drinkers survived while teetotalers did not.
