RE: Drinking water Cecil Plains

The chemist put me on Inner Health the first week I was here Jan. Has helped a lot.

I'm wondering if it might be something to do with the Biggenden water. Our water tank ran low and we had to turn over to the town water which no body drinks as it tastes so awful. I did boil it though which took a bit of the horrible taste away. The townspeople say it is the magnatite in the water. They are going to have a meeting with the shire about why should they pay such high rates when they can't even drink the water.

You have to wonder don't you?

I will only ever buy water again when travelling. No outside taps for me.

When we were travelling one time, I got a gastric bug and local dr said you can pick it up from water just cleaning your teeth. We always boil all our drinking water.

I never use the tank water for drinking or anything to do with food John. I only have a pump action tap in the van that has to be primed to get the water up. I only use it for washing clothes and dishes.
I always take bottled water along with me. I had over 10 litres when I started out from Biggenden, refilled them at Cecil Plains, then bought supermarket water after that.
Ruth, I cleaned my teeth using my drink bottle water but it was water from one of the above bottles I carry in the van.

I was told by the couple filling their tank they have been drinking it for years. Who knows Brickies.
