We saw the documentary ‘Flow’ the other night. A daunting movie about the world’s water supply and all sorts of things were raised.
One was the amount of digestive tract problems that are caused by dirty drinking water. They gave a figure of 40% IN THE USA.
Elsewhere a massive number of people die each year from water-born infections especially infants.
I do think we need to be quite skeptical about the quality of Brisbane’s drinking water. Not excessively but I’m personally happier drinking it boiled than unboiled without it being a conscious decision.
