I did not write down the address as I had not tasted the tap water or had any issues with it at the time. I strongly regret my oversight now as the present tap water is having very perceptible ill effects on my health. Could the person who posted that message or anyone who remembers the contents, be so kind as to repeat the address. I do not know how to go back far enough to look for the messages on this site. Thank you for your help. May we all soon have drinkable water without any added chemicals! Cheers. Juanita.
