I do believe that we are supplied by the water plant out near Madre Vieja, which is of course, river fed, but whether that is so or not, it is true that we use the city supplied water, but not for cooking, washing fruits & veggies, nor for drinking.What is the source of the Sosua town water? Some people say it's polluted river water. If so, I will dig a well for my new house. But since so many people seem to use the town water, I would like to think that it's not so bad. - D

I believe so, but I do not know that for a fact.Do you think the plant has a purification system? - D
Even with digging a well, we've always heard that the underground water table was contaminated. So, anything that you do with water, before you drink it test it first

You might spend a fair bit on that well, only to find out it's worse than the city supply.I'm not interested in drinking it. But presently, we have well water in our condominium and it's fine for bathing, brushing teeth, etc. I visit from NY every month and have no problem adjusting to the quality of water.
So if the quality of well water is better than the town water, I'd opt for using that when we move into the new house. - D
I had some well water tested in Sosua and it was worse than the tap water. Do not drink anything but bottled water here. And only the major brands of bottled water.
Interesting. When and by whom was the test done? - D
Why against a seaside town in particular? And by Sosua water, do you mean town water as opposed to well water? - DThere are facilities for testing water: At the ISA (Superior Agriculture Institute), the PUCMM Biology Department in Santiago: Any of the Medical Laboratories that do blood tests and such in your area....
I, personally, would not touch Sos?a water...but I have not really looked into it all that much. I seem to have a marked prejudice against the water in any seaside town north or south...

I'm wondering the same thing, but I bet that HB has a good reason.Why against a seaside town in particular? And by Sosua water, do you mean town water as opposed to well water? - D
Helpful but does not resolve all problems and they are often expensive to buy and maintain.What if you have a water filter (Five Stages Osmosis) installed at your house/condo?

I never laughed so hard in my life. I am sure that your system will be better than his, as this guy had a few "issues".
My point is that you still need to test the water. HB seems to know where to go on this.
By the time I got to this part "I never laughed so hard..." that was enough for me. I knew the water is not the best in the world but how bad is it? I'm beginning to think it is best to drink bottled water.
Rocky, Hi again and thank you for your input.
I heard that you first two wives died from drinking the water and that your last one was bludgeoned to death, as she refused to drink it.:bunny::bunny::bunny:The only one allowed to drink tap water was my ex wife.
