I know that I probably am just being paranoid and I know that water FILTERS would probably work, at least 99.9 percent of the time. But with the health problems that my wife has and the ones I am starting to develop, I don't want to take any chances if I don't have to. I specifically mentioned dead animals and the runoff from livestock farms, and chemicals that would leak out from farm supply warehouses. I know this is a worse case concern, but the flood we had around here a couple years ago brought home the fact that there will be many animal remains in the water and as I said, I just want the security of having the means to have clean water in ANY situation.
