This is the way. We got most of our water from a creek, which is GREAT for washing hair and clothes. But no so great for drinking. So we had to use one of those office cooler/heater units with the big jugs of spring water for drinking/cooking.
Now that we have a well we still use the big jugs because of the convenience of boiled water as well as chilled water. And the coffee is just better.
I will admit we are also very lucky in that our part of the world has abundant springs. So we can fill our jugs at a perfectly clear spring for free.
When did genx assume power?
last I looked most politicians are still white-haired boomers.
