My water could kill me...
I live in Fairchance and my water comes from a reservoir down the road from my house. It's disgusting, and yes there is garbage in it. No one wants to get a glass of water, and it's brown but guess what? That happens constantly in Fairchance. While doing some research, I've found out that my water contains things that could affect my health. They have found three chemicals in Fairchance's water. One of these chemicals is Nitrate, and it was detected around 2004. My water also contains haloacetic acids (HAA) and trihalomethanes. Haloacetic acids are compound usually containing chlorine and bromine They can kill tissues of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tracts. Other harmful effects are sore throat, vomiting or diarrhea.It is mainly put in water to disinfect it so you won't die, but in reality you could probably die from too much HAA. The other chemical, trihalomethanes, is pretty much chloroform. Congratulations if you live in Fairchance and drink their water, your drinking chloroform! It has the same effects as the HAA. Therefore, I recommend drinking bottled water just to be safe.
