What’s raw water? It’s water that most likely has bacteria in it. That’s what it is.
When I lived in Yonkers, NY one could see a plethora of morons lining up on the side of the Saw Mill River Parkway with their plastic jugs (plastic, heh) filling them up with water weeping from cruddy rocks as if they were at Lourdes. The word got around that this trickling water was a natural spring and the water was the “in thing.”
For all they knew this was water was from a pipe leak in the bathroom of the golf course high above the heavenly spring.
When asked, these morons would say they didn’t want fluoride, which is “rat poison,” in their water.
Yes, fluoride can kill a rat, or a human, when enough of it concentrated is ingested. These same knuckleheads probably rant about this down at the local pub where they ingest a substance in low enough amounts to get happy, but would be very unhappy if they drank it in a high enough dosage to kill them. Alcohol is poison.
Now a bunch of companies are cashing in on this lunkheadedness and are selling “raw water” at about 15-60 bucks a gallon.
I’d call my company Barnum water, because there’s a sucker born every minute.
There were 2 articles sent my way today on the subject –

This latest trend seems to be popular amongst the hipster doofi community. They tend to be leftists. They tend to love the Big State. They just, for some reason, don’t trust the Big State with THEIR WATER!!!!!!
If you can’t do that, why the hell would you trust them with anything else??
Good luck with your explosive diarrhea.
Those who pooped a lot after consuming the stuff call it a “cleanse”. LOL
White doofus peddling the stuff changed his name to Singh and says after one “lunar cycle” the water he sells turns green because it’s not “dead” like the water people who prefer not to get cholera and dysentery drink.
Silly moonbats!
Looks like they already have to deal with Shit for Brains Disease (SBDs).
The Saw Mill is almost always flooded. That “spring” water was probably highway runoff. LOL
I’m about to start a water company – organic water
well if they drink it thru a LifeStraw, they’d be okay. But they probably disdain LifeStraw because preppers are their main customer.
These fucktards remind me of the college protester assholes who were in a YouTube video back in 2008 or 2009 refusing to drink bottled water because it was “Corporate Water”.
Pinko, I am on well water here, come visit & you can fill bottles from my toilet to sell!
You know who has awesome ‘raw water’? India.
ga head.
Darwinism in action?
I have had water straight out of the side of a cliff, obviously having been filtered through hundreds of feet of rock, and it was delicious. We stopped every day for the few days we were in the area. All the locals used it too. And last summer similarly had spring water coming out of a pipe. Some sources are reliably safe.
But apart from unique cases like that, particularly if I am out camping, filters for every drop that isn’t boiled. I do bring iodine but that’s a last resort.
Georges-Eugène Haussmann 1809 – 1891
⚫ He revitalized Paris with MASSIVE public works projects. One of which was CLEAN WATER in which city officials rejected the idea of bringing in fresh water from afar when the Seine was so close.
⚫ The Seine was the DUMPING GROUND for city waste in which chamber pots and refuse was thrown into the streets, swept into the river. People also got their cooking/washing/drinking water from the Seine. They were also quite sick with typhoid and other diseases.
⚫ Haussmann brought fresh clear water from its source in a glass jar, and cloudy brown water from the Seine and begged the challenging officials to drink the Seine water over the clear water.
⚫ He got his funding for the aqueducts soon after.
Buy a TDS stick off of yamazon for 20 bux. Our water at tap averages 800 ppm. It should be lower than 200 ppm solids (commercial). . Bottled about 50. We drink purified in our hous$1.50/5 gal.
You taste average above 200. No fluorides on island.
Test your water.

Just another example of the total hypocrisy of people who want to control EVERYTHING.
Post typhoons we also have a Steripen. Another bacteria killer for drinking water in a glass. They area about $90 for good one.
If you live in storm alley, buy it, it’s small.
I wonder if Flint, Michigan could make money selling their “raw water”?
Isn’t questionable water the reason beer was invented?
Among other motivations.
Give folks all the “raw” water they want. Darwin, baby.
I have a couple cases of dehydrated water they can buy at only $5 per gallon.
A lot easier to carry around.
They should try heavy water D2O
“It’s got what plants crave”.
BFH speaks the truth. I used to drive by those folks on the Saw Mill Pkwy back when I lived a few blocks from there.
That’s like Olympia, WA., they have an artesian well in the downtown area that flows 24/7/365 that all the hipsters use to fill their jugs. Hey man, it’s the water.
