Rio Dell Water...

Now if those words don't immediately put a bad taste in your mouth then you've never lived in Rio Dell. I have, and let me tell you that the water here is, in a word...scary. When the water is coming out of the faucet looking like weak coffee you know you've got troubles. Weak coffee is exactly what I got when I turned on the bathroom faucet this morning. Its actually been happening for a few days now and I finally got fed up. Or maybe my fears of drinking this nasty water got the best of me...whichever it was I was pushed to make a call. So I call our lovely Public Works department here in the grand town of Rio Dell. Their response..."oh, yeah we've been having leaks this week and you're probably just now getting the effects of that leak. Just run the cold water for a REALLY long time and it should be fine." Great am I going to die from drinking this water?? I think not. I've been drinking it for a quater of my live-long-days and I'm fine.
