11152895_web1_PRINT.StreeterMud.KB — “I work at the hospital. At one point, I actually went to a conference and I opened the tap up and poured myself a glass of water. It was slightly brown. I drank it, immediately threw up. It was awful. From now on, I tell people don’t drink from it. If we give patients water, I always take it from filtered water in our staff room. The taps there are terrible - it really needs to be looked at. There’s so much grunge and minerals, it’s totally clouded. If people could look into that, it would be wonderful, because it’s definitely an issue. I feel bad for unsuspecting people who don’t know how bad the water is there.” Rachel Latimer
