Many people think that only poor countries suffer from the lack of clean drinking water and pollution of water. That is far for the truth. I think the biggest source of water pollution is Industries. Who are releasing large amount of hazardous waste into our water resources.

If there are nitrates in the water then it hasn't been subjected to reverse osmosis. As I said previously, I don't believe they are using reverse osmosis. It would be far too expensive. I think they have just fed you this line to shut you up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-68939350034280676492009-04-29T13:02:00.000+01:002009-04-29T13:02:00.000+01:00Micheal,

We test the alkalinity o...Just to clarify Micheal:<br /><br />We test the alkalinity on a daily basis and it is stable.<br /><br />We have wider tests done once a year and they have shown nitrate up to 38 mg/l. The legal maximum is 50 mg/l in the EU though the recommended maximum is 25 mg/l as is the legal US maximum. No idea why there is a discrepancy here. <br /><br />The harm done to yeast is over a number of generations so hydrating dried yeast is unaffected - if your baguette doesn't rise you can't blame the water.<br /><br />The chlorine levels you can see for yourself when your morning cuppa tastes of TCP on occasion. As far as I'm aware the only implication is that of flavour which is why we carbon filter all process water. To be fair to the water provider they have to keep the water safe whilst trying not to influence the flavour - a difficult balancing act.<br /><br />Other than the chlorine taste I would say the water is generally good - carbon filter it and it's great. <br /><br />I am however very grateful that you and others have brought various contaminations and threats to my attention. Legal contraventions of potable water remain rare, thankfully.<br /><br />CheersEddienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-86518136321812248652009-04-28T14:32:00.000+01:002009-04-28T14:32:00.000+01:00It's not simply OK, ECR, it's obligatory.It's not simply OK, ECR, it's obligatory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-78779297168030487862009-04-28T14:27:00.000+01:002009-04-28T14:27:00.000+01:00Richard the nitrate problem wouldn’t relate to the...Richard the nitrate problem wouldn’t relate to the major spillages and their remediations but to lots of small sewage leaks that I can only assume are getting worse.<br /><br />The commercial waste transfer station has now been concreted and curbed to prevent runoff onto the land however there is a problem with blocked drains on the access road and I believe this is being dealt with. <br /><br />Oh yes ECR if he didn’t filter out the nasties the yeast production wouldn’t work property so it wouldn’t ferment properly.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-47989429130221531872009-04-28T14:12:00.000+01:002009-04-28T14:12:00.000+01:00So it's OK to drink Eddie's beer then?So it's OK to drink Eddie's beer then?Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-82978878152678410722009-04-28T13:41:00.000+01:002009-04-28T13:41:00.000+01:00There is also a commercial waste transfer station ...There is also a commercial waste transfer station at Manston Michael.<br /><br />I am awaiting TDC reply to mt FOI request about Pioneer Industrial Estate near Ramsgate station. But I am beginning to wonder if the suspected problem (around the old Whitehall water extraction point) may have been to do with an area called locally "the dumps" which ran from the back of the Pioneer Estate (former TDC depot) to the back of Allenby Road.<br /><br />Am I right ? Your friend tests the quality of tap water. But this is sourced from three origins to dilute the Thanet extracted water ?<br /><br />Correct me if I am wrong here. So there must be a factor by which the tap water contaminants could be multiplied to represent a guesstimate of the actual aquifer levels of contaminants ?<br /><br />Although, with remediations ongoing, the aquifer should be getting less contaminated the fact would appear to remain that what comes out of private boreholes may not be too good ?<br /><br />And historically, prior to remediations, it would have been awful ?<br /><br />Historical exposure to such water and its vapours seems to be a compelling case for inquiry as I set out on my blog<br /><br /><A HREF="http://billowrights.blogspot.com/2009/04/question-to-dr-chandrakumar-re-thanet.html" REL="nofollow"> map here </A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
