I have never seen so many "boil water" notices as in Florida!

After a hurricane it's pretty much assumed we'll have to, even before they put out a notice. It does depend on the area though. Palm Bay still has a lot of septic, so even though they may end up with flooding, the sewer isn't always an issue.

This is a little off topic, but remember when TO (Terrell Owens) had his show on VH1 earlier this year? He's in Miami at a restaurant and orders water with his meal? He takes a sip, and looks at the glass, and he's like, what in the he// is this stuff? LOL. It was hilarious, he obviously didnt know not to order water in FL unless its from a bottle.

lol, Miami Beach has awful water actually. Miami is not bad. I'll only get tap water at a restaurant around here, but nowhere else in Florida. For whatever reason, the water in a lot of the cities around here is very clean tasting, probably because a lot of them have reverse osmosis filters. Once you get to about Boca Raton, or south/east of Miami city limits, you start tasting the difference.

Hmm, that's interesting.

I dont know if its on youtube or not, but you shouldve seen the look on TO's face? He looked at the glass like it just smacked his Mama or something, LOL!

We are in Manatee County, and the water tastes great to me here. I drink it straight from the tap, and I can honestly say it's the best tasting municipal water I have had anywhere I have lived. Tastes good at the restaurants here, too. Almost as good as my deep well water I had in Pasco County.

What DOES taste bad is some places with bad water and ice from the ice-maker - ugh. I think Sarasota water tastes pretty bad. When we used to live downtown Sarasota I had to have Z-hills drinking water delivered. I think the further south you go in Florida, the worse the water tastes in general.

I don't drink ANY of the water here in any part of FL, bad enough we have to cook with it... Even with a brita you can taste the nastiness. Bottled for me only, I will deal with the cancer causing agents in the bottles. At least it tastes good.

I wonder why the water in Pensacola and Jacksonville got such low rankings. Are their water plants really old? Or is it something else?
