E-Coli in... Abu Dhabi? Rangoon? No.. Scotland!

2000 Scots are boiling their water tonight as three communities have been warned of an E-Coli outbreak in their local water supply. Honestly, I thought Scotland would be too cold for E-coli!
Check the story here.

It goes without saying that good water system management would never allow this to happen. But sadly, as local utilities, like the rest of us, suffer cutbacks in funding, the robust health systems of old are whittled down pound by english pound. The question becomes simply how long we think we can live safely without robust home water filtration protection.
