I've read that online, and the question was, what the heck were they doing to the water to actually make it toxic? 

If they had just bottled tap water, no one would be any the wiser.

If they had added a little baking soda it would even have had some "negative ions", and would still be harmless water. 

But they managed to add "something" bad enough to make the water toxic? ???

My question is why would you drink that in the first place.  Sounds like the last thing I want to drink, even it was made correctly.

My neighbor is installing a huge water tank just for drinking water.  He says our rural water district, Beaver Water District, could be subject to a ransomware attack.  I'm safe as he said he would share with me......as long as I have beer to trade!
