  As a chemist, I’d say it’s great for watering decorative plants and flushing the toilet.

  Bruh. Our well had a fish living (and dying) in it for a while. The human body can handle some weird stuff.

    I didn’t want to say it first! But a huge salamander was living in the water holding tank last I checked! It seems to have gotten swept in during the hurricane in September, and I’m not sure how to get it out as the water in the tank is nearly 10 ft deep.

    I’ve never seen that before though–the system is pretty tight. The water comes out from under a huge oak tree into a sheltered area, and stays sheltered until it comes out of the tap. Nobody has ever gotten sick off it to my knowledge… though the salamander is a new development!

    I’d love to get the water tested, but I haven’t looked into it other than some local offices that test mineral content. How would I look into testing for parasites?
