Why Does "Some" El Paso Water Smell Like Clorox, Part 1
Because You're Drinking Shit Water
by Raymundo Eli Rojas
Let’s cut to the chase. The El Paso Public Service Board,
the entity that controls our water changed the system so that most El Pasoans
would be drinking “shit water.”
However, there were areas excepted from drinking shit water:
the Upper Valley and the Westside.
Oh, and guess where all the PSB members
live.
I first noticed this because my water increasingly smelled
like Clorox.
Therefore, we are basically drinking sewage water that has
been cleaned or “treated,” that is mixed with other water and then distributed
to El Pasoans, except if you live in the Upper Valley or in Northwest El Paso (Westside
of the mountain). We will have more on the research to b this up later.
First, let’s talk water.
According to a recent article in Men’s Health, “more than 91 percent of
U.S. community water systems meet EPA thresholds for such contaminants as
arsenic, bacteria, and lead.”[1]
The article also states, “Treated public water may contain chlorine or
chloramine (known to cause nasal, eye, and /or skin irritation) or worse
chlorine dioxide, which can have neurological effects.”[2]
Concerning well water, “pesticides, industrial chemicals, and other crap
(literally) can leach into it.”[3]
The article states that there will be several repercussions
to increasing chlorine. One of course is the taste and odor. Chlorine tends to
sap moisture from your skin, so long showers are not recommended.[4]
But, this will not happen to you if you live in the Upper Valley
or Westside.
