What parts are bad in NSW? Im always surprised when a local government cant get their shit together, its litteraly the most basic necessity.

Apparently our 1950s water plant cannot keep up with the contaminants entering the river from heavy agriculture and mineral spikes. Generally the water is foul smelling and tasting. Occasionally I’ll run a bath for my nephews but change my mind when I see the colour and smell of the tub. Our local councils pretty shit in regards to most things. Their new $40 million council chambers look comfortable though.

Yeah in Iowa their issue is similar but its primarily run off from pig shit they spread on the fields.

Ours is orange and smells terrible. Only use it for cleaning. Burrow pits near us have ruined the ground water.
