I grew up with a neighborhood well that was shared by four families. I remember that in the morning, you would need to run the water through to be sure it didn't taste bad. I suppose that was because the water was sitting in copper pipes all night? I'm not really sure. But once you ran the water, it was perfectly fine and good water.
Fast forward to today, I live in a city. Drinking city water was a long adjustment for me, but from nearly the first week of city water life, I ran to the grocery store to buy a "Britta" filter.
It is simple and works for us, but I always wonder if it's enough. I mean, what am I drinking anyway? Is it treated dirty river water perhaps? Again, I'm not sure. But I'm thankful anyway that we DO have water and that it is treated to protect us (hopefully).
Water is water, right? Well, not all water is the same in my book. Recently, I rediscovered the wonderful thing that happens when you put sliced cucumbers in a pitcher of water! I can't explain it, but it is amazing! I love it!
It makes my filtered, treated city-water taste WONDERFUL! For a little something extra, I like to put a squirt of lime juice in the pitcher, and sometimes I start the whole pitcher off with ice as well.
Have you tried it?
I like chopping one small cucumber for the water pitcher, and one small cucumber to salt and snack on, since I have a chopping board out. :-)
You've gotta try this! I'm just saying. #cucumberwater
Excellent idea! I grew up on well water too and it took some time to get used to city water. Thanks for the tip!
My pleasure! Did you try it? I would love to make more cucumber water today, but I'm out of cucumbers. Must head to the store later! Thanks for the comment.
I grew on well water then when i got older, ya city water is nasty.

Isn't it? Yuck. But it's better than some water, so I'm thankful for it and I'm SO glad I can make it taste better. I hope you will try it.
