Water Turbidity

[bigtiller]

The water department suggested the residents boil their cooking and drinking water because several Turbidity tests were 4 times higher than the acceptable level. Some of the women in town are arguing whether or not they need to boil their water for washing dishes. Can any of you help settle the debate before it turns into a big old hen fight?

Settle a debate between women? Are you serious...

 

[bigtiller]

Yep, that's why I came here. I'm not about to go in alone.

 

[tcartwri]

Isn't this why you have a shop and a beer fridge?

 

[bigtiller]

Yes, but if I don't go in the house often enough they come out to the shop to "check" on me.

 

[tcartwri]

you need to move the shop another 10 feet from the house.

 

[bigtiller]

I have one getting finished off now about 90 foot away but it may take another month........... so in the mean time, i'll need to go into the house a few times.

Boiling not needed. Besides the boiling water would burn their hands while they washed the dishes!

I would think that if you washed you dishes in dirty & undrinkable water you would have the same contaminates on the dishes as what is in the water. Make it light on yourself, what's the worst that can happen, maybe a trip to the emergency room or perhaps some parasite infestation in your gut.
