Communities across America lack access to clean water amid COVID-19 crisis

[@adek.g.7062]

Those whom have access to water, do not have access to always clean water. If you've had or have corrosion pipe lines busted or working, chlorine from city wide cleaning in the pipes and so forth, you're not in clean water. Even if you're free from covid, you always have a risk of other illnesses or damage to your bodies. I have to wait 30 minutes tops, for my water to become "purified " from the rusted pipes because of how old the water system is [this isn't promising and it still isn't clean enough to be gentletowards skin contact. ]. And at the same time, for the water to become heated. If it is by shower. By faucet, it takes longer. But at least 6 times a year for different periods of time, we will have chlorine filtering water. The smell doesn't fade easily. Our water isn't clean. But those who have access to better water supply from extreme filtration or better water resources can lean away from skin damage. It's always been a problem, more now than ever. And will continue until we make it cleaner again.

I live by the Ohio River and our water is not only brown but it reeks with chlorine that’s clearly used as an attempt to sanitize it. We used to drink bottled water but can no longer find it anywhere do to the pandemic. I was able to buy a faucet filter that I use, then I boil it, then put it into a brita filter again before I give it to my children to drink. You can never be too careful with city water these days. Look what happened in Flint, Michigan.

That is not true. Detroit has a huge water system and is one of the cleanest in the country. The problem that arouse a few years ago was the city water depart had had enough with delinquent bill payers and shut them off. Some of these slugs hadn't paid their bills in decades. Nor had any of these bill dodgers contacted the city water department to get on a payment plan, which the water department was more than happy to do and has with people in the past and never shut anyone off that was making a reasonable attempt to pay their bill. Not to mention most of these small cities are on municipal wells and you are going to get minerals in well water even if it is a municipal well. Simply get a whole house water filter to remove the minerals. As far as the water containing chemicals get it tested. And don't tell me they don't have the money of they are going around giving people water coolers that cost as much as or more than a water purity test at a lab. Then go on about your water purity.

To be honest - any democratic country should have water, food and shelter for it's citizens. In USA you are now suffering the capitalistic agenda of selling out everything to private companies. USA consider itself to be the number one country in the industrial world and still - not everybody has water, you can't drink tap water everywhere, your education system is not free, you don't have health care for everyone, you don't even have voting rights for every adult... I don't even know where to start... Isn't it time for USA to finally get your asses of the TV couch, vote in some real democratic ideals?

@Roberto Gutierrez Corona or no corona, migrants from Mexico will work those fields. I don't doubt it. Ironically, Mexico prob wants a bigger wall to keep out infected people. Even if U.S. unemployment rate soars to 25% (Great Depression #s), Americans will not get up @ 3:00 a.m. to work the fields in bitter cold or under 100° heat. It's just sad to see food dumped & left rotting.

[@jeremydavis4809]

I believe the EPA safe drinking water for the public is 500 or 600 max PPM. Purified and distilled water hovers between 0-30ppm which is the best. Water softeners bring that 500 to 600 down to 200 to 300 duebto the salt. Use a water meter test. Also, get a test from home depot for free also Ace hardware. You can check all the impurities in the water and provide that information to the water company. They probably wont do anything about it, but its good for you to know. Then you can start treating your own water accordingly to save trips...i figured this out when I did hydroponic vegis and herbs. Newly germinated plants will die within a few hours with high (poorly treated) water compared to their full bloom growth when its required (some require 1200 to 1800ppm like cuccumbers.) Imagine the damage to your body if your drinking that water is that bad. Might as well shower in brake fluid and destroy your kidneys and CNS when its absorbed in the skin.

[@briiiibriiii]

do you know if there are reliable shower heads that can filter these toxins out of the water ? Is it a possibility and is it expensive or somewhat affordable

[@jeremydavis4809]

Honestly, i have no idea. Me personally ive never looked that up

[@jeremydavis4809]

I just would avoid drinking it unless absolutely necessary. Remember, your garden hose is the same water as your toilet and sinks. It all comes from the pipes underground usually.

[@jeremydavis4809]

I can definately tell you there are water purifier kits and stuff you can buy, obviously its not cheap

[@jeremydavis4809]

I have a salt water softener. My sink has that drinking spout and the ppm is 250 to 300 sometimes. The better alkaline side is better rather than acidic. If you drink high ppm water, it wont kill you, it just isnt good...as shown when used for plants and home testing
