Ulog #101: The Problem With Our Tap Water

Tap water is no long a good source for drinking in our town. During my childhood, we used to drink the water from the faucet however, the water is not clear. I can't even stand the taste of boiled water. Years passed, tap water tastes salty. It's like rust from water pipes is causing it. There are jelly-like materials even coming along with water. Good thing there's Agua Vida, the only water station around then, where we decided to buy our water

Decades had passed, there's hardly seen improvements from the water service. Half of the water district was owned by a reputable company in the country, yet nothing has changed.

Recently, when I am about to do my laundry, I was shocked to see the color of the water. The water is unused yet it looks like either urine or light-colored tea.

I contacted the company and complained the color of the water through Facebook, and they are yet to respond. Since the company was privately owned, they should be improving their service because it is not their customers are paying for.
