    Chlorine

    Don’t know where I found this direction but I add chloro to our cistern once a month. Amount to add depends on size of cistern. you also need to drain and clean the cistern every year or so. Search for”care of a cistern” to get better information. Bottom line, your cistern needs care.

    from Pularvik. we get the form every year. Our SS pensions are deposited in an account in Canada, but our mailing address is in the DR. Probably it’s the mailing address in the DR that triggered it, or maybe our account in Canada? My husband says that they just want to be sure we are not dead.
