It was just discovered (well publicly :eyes: )that about 20 years ago someone illegally dumped some nasty chemicals in a gravel pit about 1/2 mile down the road from me. Yes, of course it was known years ago, but no one told anyone building/buying houses in the area. Luckily for us the contamination ran North instead of South. Our well water is (assumed) safe...not so much for the houses North of the pit.

but the drinking water, which is piped down from the mainland, is a little lacking. And limey.

7. Rumored to cause cancer |
|
From years and years of growing christmas trees here in NC.
It may be just talk and I've never researched the facts of it, but I have heard from a few people that the cancer rate here is 2-3x higher than average or something.

Otherwise, non-existent. ;)
The drinking water smells like chlorine...some sort of filtration system is a must, and frankly, I prefer bottled.

15. The stuff coming out of the tap? |
|
Tastes amazingly great, and doesn't leave rust and spots all over the porcelain and dishware.
