RANT: WATER: bans, low pressure etc

October

 What happens if water bottles are banned?
Image result for towns on cape cod with water bottle ban
Banning bottled water removes a healthy choice and leads to increased consumption of unhealthy sugary drinks. Increased consumption of zero-calorie bottled water in place of high-calorie juices and sodas has cut trillions of calories from American diets
**
Where has bottled water been banned?
Legislation banning the sale of single-serving plastic water bottles passed in Concord, Massachusetts on April 26, 2012, making Concord the first village in the nation to ban single-serving plastic bottles. The passage was largely due to the efforts of 84-year-old Jean Hill. The ban took effect on January 1, 2013.

Ten towns on the Cape have voted to ban single-use plastic water bottles. That ban went into effect recently for Brewster, Wellfleet, Falmouth, Harwich, Orleans and Provincetown.Sep 13, 2021

October 12

after numerous complaints and emails the water department showed up and a guy was out there in a man hole for over an hour. Doing what I do not know. I asked questions of him and others have complained about the low pressure  and each complaint has to be checked out. While the low pressure issue had stopped maybe 5 days before I still wanted answers. ha ha. So there was a huge gush later the following day when I flushed the toilet. I had already run the water plenty I thought and the other night the hot water was grey. So I will ask my brother to run off the bottom of the water tank.

A friend has told me that the Stop & Shop in Dennis- Patriot Square has the mini bottles of water. I will check that out.

water department truck- pretty slick-


the smell of acetone was almost too much.

End of October 

I finally got  a chance to go to Dennis to the Stop & Shop there and they had all sizes. I got minis and then the next size up without the flip top- which spills when I use it. So, knock wood, I am set for a while. BUT it actually ate up 2 gallons of gasoline which I used Jer's credit card for but left 7.00 of cash under the blotter for him. I explained that a week later and he said it is a business expense but finally accepted it.

With all this banning there is still liter. Saw this on my walk to the post office on October 21st



so the litter is just getting bigger LOL

November 1

Jer flushed the water tank from the water company's "work" that made it dark grey for a day.
