Its disappointing to see how people only think of themselves and hoard bottled water. Some were buying 20+ cases filling every space in thier cars, even the floors leaving others with none. Shelves were empty but they're slowly getting restocked.
Otoh, many with well water around the area have offered free water. I have a 3000+ gallon cistern in my yard that has been regularly treated with chlorine. Most call it a pool.

I thought Manny may find this interesting and may have predicted this predicament prior to this situation. Some local photos of lake erie are disturbing although some might enjoy it on st pattys day. Completely green.
I am happy to say that i don't fertilize my lawn at all. Most people around here do, though. Im a big believer that the nutrients just run off into the lake via river tributaries and feed the problem.
Does anyone know if distilling water would remove microsystin? This might give me motivation to build a still. Apparantly its a tiny toxin composed of a few amino acids harmful to the liver and escapes filtration systems. Perhaps a coagulant of some type would remove the bugger.
