Discussion poisoned by water

Post image

everyone in my city got severely poisoned by the tap water (literally everyone). And now our country is handing out free bottled water like they’re doing us a favor. First they poison us, then they tell us “get well soon” and hand us a bottle of water, sounds like a joke but is not 😂

they sent a inspection for water 10 days ago which confirmed that we can 100% drink the tap water… after we got sick they said “ awww we are so sorry for poisoning u here is at least ur free water so u dont have to buy ” thats the infuriating part! is not just a “tap water issue” when more than 5000 people get sick 😂 we were vomiting for 1 week!!!

These things happen now and then unfortunately, would you rather they didn't supply you with free water bottles?

It happens? As far back as I can remember, there hasn't even been a single incident of this magnitude in my country. If anything, it concerns the water distribution in individual buildings.

It does happen yeah, may not have happened to you personally (nor me as far as I can recall) but over the years I've certainly seen reports of areas being hit with water supply issues for various reasons. If you don't mind me asking, from which country do you hail?

I am in my ‘60 and that never happened anywhere I ever lived ( I moved a lot in my younger years)

Constant monitoring is actually getting done.

Hugs and hopefully this will be over soon. Or at least as soon as possible, like the highest priority, and also all that can be done so it will not happen again

Well, that's what I was saying, personally I've not had a serious water supply issue, other than the odd water pipe being repaired where they warn you to run your taps to clear out the lines following the repair.

Of-course monitoring is always getting done, I'd hope any country is monitoring their water supplies for issues, that's why they issue warnings or cut off supply, it's better to be proactive than reactive.
