Or faucets if you’re in America. Contained in the latest council newsletter:
“We’re responsible for supplying safe drinking water to approximately 20,000 connections for household and commercial use in our district. Our public water is tested and treated with chlorine and high-intensity UV light and pH corrected to make sure it’s safe to drink. However, some plumbing fittings to can allow tiny traces of metals to accumulate in water standing in the fittings for several hours.
“Although the health risk is small, as a precautionary measure the Ministry of Health recommends flushing a mug of water from your tap each morning before use. This will help flush out any water in your pipes that may have dissolved or absorbed small amounts of substances from your plumbing overnight.”

Crap. British plumbing was made from lead at least until the late 1940s. I drank water from lead pipes for nearly twenty years. I am now eighty six.

There were large supplies of chlorine gas available after WW1. Some bright spark thought that it would be a good idea to put it in water supplies to kill bacteria. It does that just as effectively as it killed soldiers during the war. About fifteen to twenty years later the rates of heart disease and various cancers started to rise where chlorine was added to the water supplies. That has happened around the world, fifteen to twenty years after chlorination commences heart disease and cancers start to increase. Outbreaks of typhoid and cholera are stopped but at a price. Decent plumbing and good water sources are sufficient to prevent disease but council engineers want to cover themselves against any possibility of typhoid or cholera at any price. They will be retiring to their beachfront properties with roof water and will not be blamed for the heart disease or cancer.

You can get rid of Chlorine with a standard carbon filter. Getting rid of fluoride requires an expensive reverse osmosis filter, however.

I have a couple of stainless steel drinks bottles and a 3 litre jug they all have an absolute filter. Nominal filters like carbon filters such as Brita etc. are useless and require regular replacement. An absolute filter can be used for several years and only requires replacement when the through flow drops off. Meaning the filter is becoming blocked. I paid about $150 for the jug with upgraded filter to also remove any radioactive particles. The bottles are around $70 and I got those with the same upgraded filter as they were on special at the time. These filters will add minerals to water and remove everything that can harm a human. You can put pond water in, coffee, soft drinks and get clean fresh water out of them. However the dirtier the water source the quicker they will block. Mine last around 3 to 4 years. and can be bought in NZ online. If anyone wants to know where to get one ask me, otherwise I don’t think it’s right that I should advertise on here with out the original posters permission.

I use a carbon filter but most do not. Boiling the water will get rid of the chlorine too. I am not too fussed about the fluoride. That is natural enough in granitic areas. Cooking tannin rich vegetables, or anything else with tannin in chlorinated water generates carcinogens.

The real reason for this announcement is to counter the graphene oxide and iron oxide found in the arms and blood of the vaccinated, just you wait and see. Dr Michael Baker has had vials of the vaccine tested, as have others and they are finding graphene oxide in them. Iron oxide was what they used to use in medication and vaccines and is harmless to the body, however graphene oxide is toxic. This is psychological priming for their next vaccine excuse.
It’s also interesting to note that when hemp is used for steel and brass plumbing fittings the plumber will also use aqueous graphene paste or slurry to help the hemp feed into the threads of the joint, I use it myself when replacing hot water cylinder elements.
Even more interesting is that I have heard “officals” comment on the lead in brass plumbing fittings leaching into the water. It’s just ridiculous, especially when you consider that they are trying to inject everybody with experimental gene therapy that is killing tens of thousands of people globally.
