EXTRA, EXTRA/Is it safe to store water in a plastic jug?
Why do ice cubes make water taste funny? Why can’t we just drink water from the ocean? How much water do I need to store for an emergency? The answers to those questions and many more can be found in the fourth edition of “Plain Talk About Drinking Water,” written by Dr. James Symons and published by the Denver-based American Water Works Association. The resource book is intended for water professionals who encounter questions from residents about their water supply as well as for residents who are curious about potable water. Questions are answered in simple language and address a range of topics, including water treatment, conservation and health concerns. Five appendices provide additional information and resources to learn more. The book is available online at www.awwa.org/bookstore or by calling (800) 926-7337.
