It is ironic that you posted this. I just found out that the water quality testing in the city that I live ranked 40 out of 100% on the water quality scale. It has apparently been this way for a year. The surrounding cities rank 97, 98, and 99%. We had a warning to boil any water we use for cooking or drinking. We only recieved this maybe a month ago. It was then retracted and we have been told they are "working to fix the problem". I would have thought that CDC or some agency would have stepped in, but so far ...nothing. I have been buying distilled water and going to my mom's in the town next to me to refill my water jugs. Her water is at 97%. This is scary and I hate that my kids have been drinking this water for the past year. I did flush some expired medications a few weeks ago and had never thought of it contributing to this problem. I live in public housing and had only thought that I did not want to throw them in the trash were children may get a hold of the pills. I will find to find some other way. Thank you for this post.
