Ever had sickness from tap water? Just let that sink in! Being used by nuclear waste feels like downwards leap. I hate having hepatitis.

I'm trying to use water to bring me around from two days of alcohol and drugs. Maybe I'm doing it wrong though! Shit...

I am not entirely sure what's going on here. >.>

A guy from Pakistan is complaining about his water quality, Spleen. Christ, keep up!

I haven't but a decade or so ago a town in my province had a water contamination from pig farm silos or something. flooding brought a bunch of animal poop water into the city and forced it into the water system

I was amazed whilst staying in Missouri that you couldn't advisably drink the tap water without fitting a filter to your faucet. I just couldn't have imagined a first world nation having such a problem.

Is the poor quality of water how he got hepatitis? 

[Mister Sympa]

To all.

I'm guessing you mean Walkerton?

That shit was pretty fucked up.

Two lazy/stupid employees and the public utilities council allowed the contaminant to go unchecked for way too long and some people died.

They spent so much time shrugging and saying their water was fine when they had tests saying otherwise it honestly baffles the mind.

Like a bunch of toddlers who didn't want to fess up to mom when they broke a lamp so they just fed the broken glass to the baby.

Yes, Walkerton is the one I meant. Quite literally a shitshow.

Apparently water contamination does cause viral hep A. I didn't know that.

[SpleenBeGone]

Huh, TIL.

 

I was just being a jackass, now I feel like we need to send the guy a water filter.

The Emergency NF Water Fund.

[SpleenBeGone]

I mean, we could make that happen.

i think the guys name is quite fitting though...

[Crazy Joe]

Why was this a confusing thread? The water here is bad. Very bad.

[Calvary]

Crazy Joe I honestly thought you were a bot. But fear not, you're weird first post has led to a discussion on donating money to a water charity. You rock, my man.

[fae]

so he's no a bot?

[Calvary]

I guess not?
