Water You Woudn't Feed a Dog.

STACY, MN — The tap water here is high in chlorine and is sickening families’ pets, an October 31 story in The Post Review said. Resident Ken Cummings, who has spent about $385 on water filters over the past three years, was told to stop giving his family’s pet rabbit tap water after it became ill. When he started giving it bottled water, it regained health.
Cummings said he goes through a lot of filters because they deteriorate.
The same thing happened to Mayor John Daher’s dog. His veterinarian told him not to give his dog city water.
The city’s rusty water, a result of chlorine reacting with iron, was discussed at an October 30 city council meeting. A resident in attendance said that when she fills her bathtub the water is brown and has been for 23 years.

Ian: Hey, you think that's bad? Today's announcement that 50% of Sydney's water supply is useless due to toxic algal bloom begs the question; Which fifty percent?
