  • Bad luck? I have very high levels of mica sediment in my well that my immediate neighbors do not have. I asked my neighbors when I moved in and none of them had that problem. The well company said that they usually drill a new well.

    A few miles away a neighbor has such high radon that they need special filters that need to be disposed of by a professional company because it needs to be treated as a radiation hazard. I have no radon in my water.

    As someone else said for lead, if you have old soldered copper pipes, that could be your lead problem.

    A professional company can install water treatment to make your water safe. The well pump salesman showed off some of the crazy systems that they had done. One was a system of really large water tanks connected to a very large Reverse Osmosis system to deal with a well that had bad water quality.










  • Oh ok. But to refute your forest idea, while there are forests a few miles outside those cities, you can’t easily walk to them. There also aren’t any forests near those major cities where you wouldn’t immediately be noticed by park rangers if you tried setting up a random tent. Abandoned buildings don’t get daily police sweeps whereas parks do get sweeps because of lost/injured at nightfall when the parks close to everyone without a camping permit. And legal camp sites are very popular so you wouldn’t be getting away from people- like those who have their playlists blasting out their phone while hiking.
