Was brown. It tasted ok except for the heavy iron after taste. I betcha a person could have held a magnet up to his throat, drank a glass of water, then watched the magnet slowly move from his throat down to his stomach. Ugly stuff, but still made some good tea. We kept flushing the toilet everytime we went by thinking it had been used.
Thanks Greenville for some new material:biggrin
That's why I take 5gallon water jugs filled to the brim when I go to my cabin on lake washington! !!! That is the nastiest water I ever seen, I have fished in cleaner water than the Greenville water! !!!!!!
yep but that water make some good sweet tea
Hey, don't talk bad about that water.....the folks in Greenville will get upset....they like it that way.
Folks in Arkansas don't know how blessed we are to have good water till they travel.
RCC, the water over at Lake Village was purty!! No color! I guess Chicot is clearer than Washington for a water supply!
If I woulda known you were missing out, I'da brought you a jug.Quote:

The city tried to clean it up but the residents threw a fit.
I did the same thing. Wonder how many gallons of good water are flushed away by outta towners thinking someone forgot to flush? [emoji2]Quote:

Had plenty of bottle water and can sodas, never drink the water when I am out of town and always filter our water at home.
From an article in 2004....
Town Doesn't Mind Brown Water
Greenville's water comes from the Cockfield aquifer, which is fed from eastern Mississippi. The water filters through three ancient cypress swamps, picking up particles from wood and vegetation thousands of years old, Jones said. The particles are dissolved in the water, giving it a brown color. Most other cities in the Southeast that receive fresh water from the aquifer have installed filtration systems that make the water clear.
Obama campaigned there and promised to remember them (the delta, and not just on the water). Do some Googling to read if he helped. I'll give you three guesses but you might only need one.
Love the Dirty South and what swims in that water. Best water in the world IMO.
