Man, this water tastes like crap

Well, city of Decatur, Avondale, Chamblee, and Doraville….that’s because it is.

“At approximately 6:50 p.m., DeKalb County Watershed Management officials were notified that the Scott Candler Water Plant lost power due to severe weather in the area”(7/22). The untreated water that began flowing through our pipes was “not suitable for bathing, drinking, or cooking.” However, officials did not begin to warn the public until 8:25 this morning, by publishing a website no one checked. Most people (myself included) didn’t find out until about 3pm today. Bummer man. You just drank poop.

For those of you reading this, while smugly sipping your non-recalled water, you might want to take a look at National Drinking Water Regulations. Long story short: the allowable amount of feces in water is greater than zero.
