THAT'S A HELL OF A LOT OF IRON! We're talking 1/16th deep LAYER of

feces none the less.

I will need a biology microscope to investigate the exact nature of
the material collected as *precipitate,* or it can be removed, dried,
then burned and its' color spectrum analyzed for materials present. I
will never have enough $ for the spectrum analyzer, but I might be
able to borrow a bio microscope.



Ever consider taking a properly-bottled sample to a competent testing
lab that already owns the necessary equipment for a far more accurate
analysis than you're likely to achieve at home?


I know what is in the drinking water as far as the Village is willing
to release to the public. They sent me ( as a homeowner ) an analysis
a while back but for the life of me I can't find it at the moment.
IIRC, it passed muster IMO, so maybe I tossed it.

Did that at a previous hom because of exactly this sort of brown
precipitate issue, and it was indeed simply a very high iron
concentration. Turned out that beautiful light-gray sand our aquifer
ran through was so high in iron that the sand would rust and turn
brown if exposed to air for a few weeks.


Well, iron is a necessary mineral for any healthy person, up to a
point. Beyond that point, it becomes a POISON. 18 ( eighteen )
milligrams of Iron is accepted as the recommended daily allowance for
one each adult human. Beyond that, you're asking for trouble.

Also, the presence of bacteria in general won't confirm fecal
origins, there are bacteria that thrive on dissolved iron in wells
like that. A water district on the same aquifer had to repeatedly
hoist and clean their well filters because the iron-loving bacteria
would plug the intake filters. Zero coliform count, just lots of
bacteria, and lots of iron.


Actually, I read somewhere that it is a GOOD IDEA to let algae grow on
your sediment prefilter, as this somehow helps in the water
purification process. I don't remember the exact mechanism for this.
I do know that I let algae ( green ) grown on my sediment pre-filter
and do not *worry* about it contaminating anything. In fact, it helps
in the cleansing process.

I do still want a bio microscope though. I've been looking for an
unwanted/unused one for years, but no luck to date. The ones on e-bay
are to rich for my blood. Using polarized contrast-phase lighting,
you can view LIVE specimines without killing them.

So in summary, there are 2 kinds of pollutants:
organic
inorganic ( chemicals )

Both can hurt you. Cryptosporidium closed down the Milwaukee
Wisconsin water supply not to many years ago. There was a boil order
in effect for many days befor that was brought under control. Did you
know that as few as 3 to 5 Giardia Lamblia cysts can cause Giardiasis?
Explosive diarrhea. The kind that can dehydrate and kill you if you
don't get the correct medicines in time ( Flagyl, etc. ) in the right
doses. I know of someone who went to Mexico and ended up spending
over a month in hospital for treatment of Giardia Lamblia infection.

Then there are the otherwise unexplained brain cancers, liver cancers,
bowel cancers...I don't rule out the water supply as a contributor to
these killers.

Belittle it all you like. Drink UP! Down the hatch...that a boy.
Good Fella! My that was tasty wasn't it?

good morning Lawrence. people for a long time have made themselves
happy with thinking how their government loves them, takes care of
them and puts their well being first and foremost above all. me,
I've known for a long time how the government is a bunch of liars who
steal, lie, cheat and work from behind closed doors in order to maintain
their privileged class existence at the expense of the [tax paying module].
understanding of how the [tax paying module] has been placed at the bottom
of the food chain by the government sheds light onto the truth concerning
just how much the government really cares. government plays a nice lip
service to the lowly [tax paying module] with nice catch phrases such as,
The Clean Air and Water Act, and another catch phrase known as Super Fund.

there are two kinds of contaminates in the drinking water supply, chemical
and organic. both got into the water supply by man's own carelessness and
neglect for what is actually the right thing to do. forever industry has
taken the less expensive route of dumping the chemical and heavy metals
waste with the least cost possible to itself. usually this means out the
back door and onto the ground and without containment of any sort rain
run off carries these contaminates into the ground water supply.

cities such as Raleigh NC which have experienced unreal growth as a
result of everyone in the universe wanting to live there can't keep
up with the demands placed on their human sewage treatment facilities
resulting in overflows. sometimes reported as spills they are
necessary to keep the city running and provide for the need of people
to release their excrement.

it is a sad state of existence we find ourselves in today on this
earth as a result of the greed of many who would abuse others for
their own gain. with government bought and paid for by the wealthy
controlling privileged class, there is little hope of anything
changing for the good of the financially challenged members of
mankind known to the government as the [tax paying module].

people don't like being shown how they've been used and abused for
years. the revealing causes those who have been used to enter into
a state of denial whereby they are compelled to reject any notion
of any other human having abused them. from a sociological stand
point all humans are driven to expound with vigorous argument
constructed from elaborate detail of how they are in charge of their
destiny and in possession of a greater understanding of all matters
than any of their competing fellow inhabitants. for this reason
whenever one human makes an attempt to explain to other humans there
will always be rejection for the explanation.


the drinking water is polluted. man did it. man now gets to live
with that.
