WATER BOTTLERS' CLAIMS OF SPRING SOURCES CALLED IMPURE. This is an attack of companies that claim to have pure spring water that is not really drawn from a spring correct? I may be wrong but I do not recall RMIL labelling their water as pure spring water. So you are trying to make an invalid point. More nay garbage. Let me understand what you are claiming here, you are trying to infer the water we have in Ten Sleep is impure correct? Although I do feel until we get higher standards in the water bottling industry, there will be some bogus companies, I do not feel RMIL is one. Many water companies I am sure have polluted water and pull straight from a tap without any reverse osmosis or distillation to clean their impure water, but they do this in areas with high population count, poor wastewater ditribution, and high agricultural pesticide runoff, all of which Ten Sleep is protected from. Here read this from one of my earlier posts: Holdener has tapped into the Northwoods, an area of Wisconsin where farm chemicals have not contaminated the rich network of rivers and lakes that exist above and below the ground. What makes the water good at Ten Sleep is that it is free from contamination, not that it is from a spring, even certain spring waters can have bacterial growth if wastewater management is poor in the area of the spring where large population exists with much waste. A problem that is growing in this country. But here is another excerpt from the very casper article you posted Ditch: But it's got something for which towns and cities in the West will go to political war: water. Millions of gallons of pure, clear, untreated, unchlorinated water that gushes from the Madison Formation in the mountains directly to two wells 1,100 feet deep near the Town Hall. Water so plentiful that most households don't have meters and pay a flat rate of $20 a month. The point is not wether they draw their water from a spring or a well or from the tap, but wether that water is pure or not, do you honestly believe the town of Ten Sleep would actively seeka company to sell their water if they had not run their own tests on it to see if it was a marketable product?
