I've been called many names in here lately, all from your pathetic little circle of jerks. |

I'm talkin' about buying a passel of Floriduh swampland........... duh! If you can buy a "passel" of Florida swampland, you should go for it. You could make a LOT of money. At the rate the aquifer in Florida reportedly is dropping because of overdevelopment, droughts and global warming, an investment in water trucks might be more profitable. :) If you'd venture out into the hinterlands you might find more undeveloped land than you ever imagined. Unfortunately, corporate America is shipping Florida water all over the country. You might be enjoying some as we speak. http://www.scubatampa.com/water.html When I was a kid, my relatives had a place in Zephyrhills, FL. Our vacations were spent there. Out on the south side of town was Crystal Springs, owned by Zephyrhills Water, 72 degrees, clear as clear can be, open to the public. Also, there was a spigot, where locals could fill their water bottles for free. Zephyrhills Water Co. was cool like that. Then Perrier bought them out. Next thing, no spigot, closed the springs down, etc. People fought for years to re-open them, it may still be going on. |

Bottled water is pretty popular here because the well water is not really that good. You can aerate it (to remove H2S) and run it through an R/O to make it potable. My biggest use of bottled water is in my hurricane prep but we do keep a bunch on the boat because it keeps better than tap water. It is about the time of year when we pack every nook and cranny of the freezers with bottles of water and eat down the food. If you treat bottled water like a soft drink or a beer, I still do not see the problem. Everyone I know around here with a boat, no matter the size, uses bottled water on board, even to brush their teeth. We use the on-board water tank for showers, et cetera. |

We had decent well water in Zephyrhills, but believe it or not, it wasn't great, aquafer really hard to get to in some places, then right down the road, it's at the surface! |

Even after having a complete, new water conditioning system (the carbon filter tank and some other kind of filter) and having it professionally maintained monthly, the water still had a strange, sulfur-like odor. I had a small R/O system but the water it produced was totally tasteless and bland. All our drinking water was bottled .... purchased in the 5 gallon jugs and dispersed through a cooler/heater. I was told the Florida house had a "shallow well" meaning 20 ft or less. The well we installed here in MA for general lawn maintenance and for the horses is 520 ft deep and it's pure, clean, odorless water, fit for drinking without any chemicals or conditioning needed. |

In these "heah parts," a 520 foot well would run you about $6000, just for the hole. If I had to pay to drill to that depth, I'd prefer to hit oil, and truck in bottled water for the horsies to drink. |
