Turbs3000 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Anyone know if you can make coffee and what not with it? Things that would cause steam but not technically boiling? I didn't see that in the notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Anyone know if you can make coffee and what not with it? Things that would cause steam but not technically boiling? I didn't see that in the notice. Your 6 month old enjoys a nice latte? The main concern is with infants because their digestive tract doesn't filter the nitrates well.

Turbs3000 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Your 6 month old enjoys a nice latte? He is 4 months going on 40 what can I say he is a classy guy. It says 6mo and under, breastfeeding, and prego shouldn't drink it. And that no one should boil it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 It is that nobody should boil it in an attempt to reduce nitrates as it will make it increase. You can still boil it if you are making soup or whatever...so long as you are not less than 6mo. or breastfeeding! Basically...everyone can go about their normal water usage. Wonder if it is better for my plants now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) So the plant is in Dublin but doesnt serve Dublin.. am i reading that correctly? Regardless, we drink bottled water anyways. Our tap water smells and tastes like pool water on any given day. Edit, no, i did not read that correctly.

mrs.cos Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I am researching the water situation as regards to pets- if anyone has knowledge of this it would be helpful to share According to this PDF "Animals should not drink water that is above 10 mg/L" https://public.health.oregon.gov/HealthyEnvironments/DrinkingWater/Monitoring/Documents/health/nitrate.pdf However- I don't know how that translates in regards to the PPM currently. Ohio EPA regulations require that the public be notified within 24 hours when nitrate levels in a public water supply exceed the maximum contaminant level, which is 10 parts per million (ppm). Today, the nitrate level in tap water tested at the Dublin Road plant registered 10.8 - which is the amount stated by the PDF above to avoid going to pets. I'll be safe rather than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Gotta love lawn fertilizers ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Gotta love lawn fertilizers ... Its the Famers Tom. This is all due to the fact that we got dumped on up north in Farm Country last week. If all that rain would have hit locally we wouldn't be having this discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
