Where to find a potable water supply in a rural community?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several ways!: You can always by a good water filter. Boiling water will kill germs, but not remove contaminants. Your county agent can always test water sources, such as wells. Bottled distilled water by the gallon is also an alternative!
