I just re-sent it.

Hello tortoise people!

 

[Yvonne G]

"Hey!"

 

[Jacqui]

My gut reaction would be no, they cannot. But if that's what's happening, I suggest you get a legal opinion from someone in your town that you trust.

@Jacqui : Did you receive the private message I sent you this a.m.?

My village is looking at several options. The filter is the cheapest one, but I can see the government in a year deciding that is not enough.

Yes to the other question, I did get it.

Hello tortoise people!

Surviving I see

 

[Jacqui]

Adult cats become such kittens with dried leaves blowing across the pavement.

 

[Yvonne G]

Yes, the cooler weather brings out the kitten in them! I notice appetites have improved too.

Hello tortoise people!

Hi there.Long time no hear. Where have you been for so long? Hope you are well.

 

[Jacqui]

One of my mighty huntresses just caught herself a tasty grasshopper.

I got to wondering as I sit here, with all the laws that stop folks from being able to enter your home, even law officers having to have valid reasons... can a city force you to let them put in a filter under your sink and then allow them to change filters as needed? Reasoning being the water being high in nitrates.

my first thought is no they may lie to you and say they can tell them to go pound sand

The city has access to the turn-off valve at the street. If they want to filter the water or do any kind of testing, tell them to do it beyond your property line.

Personally I think that is where it should be done. Otherwise not all of my water Ius "safe". Not to mention I see it as invasion of my privacy and what if one of my animals bites them?

They have several options they are looking at, this one is just the cheapest one.

It is the entire village's problem. Our well is very old and now nitrates are leaking in. The well is cracked with lots of roots invading it.

Umm did you have a date, too?

 

[Jacqui]

My redfoots love me. I just feed them a bunch of plantain (the fruit).

 

[dmmj]

@smarch was a decision ever reached on your possible move?

Jacqui, for town folks that don't deal with any water issue other than turning on the tap, I have a love/hate relationship explaining to them what a "bad well" is and why you can't just send an email or make a phone call and it's fixed. With our house setup on a short sale due to dry well issues and we are trying to get by on 2 wells that combined don't equal 3gallons a minute, I feel your pain. One of the two we are on only puts out 3/4 of a gallon during the good months. As usual, folks decide I just need better education and suggest I just need to deepen the well,(quickly shutting up when I mention the good well is better than 500' already) or they casually say just dig a new well. I point out that we're on two producing wells out of a total 9 wells dug, and then they fully understand. We've lived here 7-8 years, and every summer but one the wells suck air and not water. At least each summer the wells comeback but this year may me different, they've never stopped so soon. All grim, but at least we understand it.
