We only drink tap. I grew up on it and so did my husband. We also give it to our four animals and cook with it daily. Water is the number one consumed beverage in my house, coffee is number two. Guess what we make our coffee with? Tap water.

The city botched this alert and had people questioning if we were about to be the next East Palestine or Flint. There was no consideration of how long this was going to last and people need water to live.

You're cracked if you really think no one will be drinking the water they bought, or buying more because they don't trust the all clear.

Unlikely. I just bought a countertop water distiller because I haven't been able to get distilled water all winter. Luckily we never had long-term hard freezes and I was able to access rain water to boil for my humidifier and feed directly to my plants, but if we had a CPAP or other medical devices, that wouldn't work.
