How is the tap water in NH? It isn't drinkable here in Florida. It was really tasty in Idaho though.

Depends on if you are getting it from a well (most of NH i believe?) or from a city water treatment center (just the bigger cities?).

I'm not surprised to see arsenic occuring in well water. So much pressure treated wood has been used for decks and landscape timbers. It contains large amounts of arsenic.

The town of Twin Mountain has its own water tower. The guy that owns it rents it out to the town to use. They wanted to fluoridate the water a while back, but he said he would turn it off if they wanted to fluoridate it, so it remains fluoride-free.

When Lancaster got fluoride water (they have municipal water on main street and downtown), a lot of people switched to well water.

Our water when we first moved here was kind of junky because they had laid new pipes, and we had to run it a lot before the pipes were finally clean enough. We still filter the water, but its drinkable out of the sink. It doesn't taste funny, and its pretty much crystal clear. It's just a bit thick/heavy, and ice made with it isn't so great.

If you mean sulfur in the water, I haven't heard of it here. My grandparents lived in Sanford, FL, and it wasn't fun visiting overnight if I needed to take a shower - forget about drinking the stuff. They had lived with it for so long they had no idea what I was complaining about.

I have a customer here  in CT.  When you turn on the water, you would swear someone cut a fart!

Oh that's what that was!  The water's not like that here in Keene.

The water in Keene is fine to drink .... but we filter it anyway.
I loved the water in MT, WY, UT but hated it in SoCalifornia ..... it always tasted "used".
