Wow do you people have computer service in Howard?
I'm not a rocket scientist but i do believe that fish live even deeper than the 12' foot level you are getting your water from and don't they need oxygen in the water to live! Sounds like a lot of excuses. The treatment of water is a very scientific method and to leave it to a automated system just doesn't make since. Even knew technology has to be monitored. The smell of our water is gross and yes I smell it on a daily bases. And the damage that the lack of water treatment has caused.Damage to clothing and appliances alike. For you to calmly act like this is no big deal is ridiculous. Thank you Kake for helping our small community to bring this to a larger scale. Maybe the proper officials will address this with a little more concern as the bigger part of our community cant afford to pay a water bill for water that we cant drink and turn around and pay for bottled water.
I got sick from this water its not safe to drink.
P&J, Toots, and Batson's all have bag in the box soda fountains that use city water. I am not buying the 12' excuse it has been that way since '81. I think it is more of a not backwashing or replacing the filter media often enough. Assuming the automated plant needs no assistance also comes in to play. If the water is bad there is only one water plant, one source, and one water guy.
