Really? At your age you have no idea what "municipal water" is?

It's water the does not come from one's own private well. It's provided by
your municipality. It flows from the tap and you receive a bill for it at
regular intervals.

I have no idea how she got to be 61 years old and remain so completely
clueless. We know she's not hauling buckets of water from Spada Lake
to her house.

I don't know municipality is either and I can't be bothered to use the
dictionary. I could however get free spring water near Martha Lake though. I
would have to bang my own containers.

Oh My Goodness. You really are that stupid.

Oh goody, why don't you do that? Since you couldn't actually get the
delivered groceries in off the front porch without pretending to be an
acrobat who had to drag them inside lying down... I don't know how you
expect me to believe you'd go haul water.

Why not join John Kuthe in crowing about how you're making the
environment all better and sing Kumbaya?

Meanwhile, if you can turn on a faucet and water comes out, flush the
toilet (NO, I don't want to hear again about toilet issues or toilet
paper) you are on a municipal water supply. Ignorance is is bliss, eh?
Maybe you stuck your ex-husband with that bill but someone sure is
paying for it.

I wouldn't and I don't. I've never seen an available parking spot there when
I drive by, so probably couldn't.

Why would you think I'm making the envirnment better? People here are pretty
green even if it's only because we are expected to be.

Really? I know people who have wells. They can flush their toilet and water
comes out of their tap. Sooo... I guess that means they too are on a
municipal water supply? Sheesh. Way to (pardon the pun) muddy the water
further. I pay the water bill.

Guess I'll have to look up the word "municipal". I know we have a municipal
court here. Not sure what the word means though. And... In looking it up, I
still don't see how that relates to my water because Alderwood Water serves
quite a few cities.

We're on tap water, meaning we have water coming out of our taps. But
we're not on town/municipal water. We collect rain water in big tanks.

Ewww. I wouldn't drink that tap water. ;-D

Wow. I can see you were like a sponge when you were in civics class. I

The local government is the entity that negotiated with Alderwood Water
to supply water to the town, thus, "municipal water" Some town operate
the water supply plant, others contract the service. Town still has some
control.

She is willfully ignorant. Sadly, she is not the only one here who fits
that bill. There are a few people who defend her and refuse to see her
for the liar she is.

Julie, 'Municipal water' is another name for Tap water. That
terminology may not be used for it where you are in common language so
was not immediately recognized. If I used the term 'municiple water'
to most of my friends, they'd look at me like I'd grown a 3rd eyeball.

Country folks just call it "city water", even if it's a county utility.

Yup. My water bill doesn't use that term on it either. I don't have
an issue with someone not knowing the term as I've not lived anyplace
personally where it was called that commonly or on a water bill.

The silly things people did up here to argue about!

Tap water can come from a private well on one's own property. Sheldon's
does. Mine used to.

It can also come from a cistern. Dave Smith has one, as does Bruce.

I would only call it tap water to distinguish it from bottled water.
The water at my kitchen and bathroom sinks is tap water. The stuff that
fills my toilet tank comes from the same source, but I would not call it
tap water or toilet water.

My water comes neither from my own well nor from my municipality.

It comes from a water company.

A later post of mine referenced cisterns. Frankly, the whole issue is too complicated
for her to understand. She turns the tap and water comes out. What else is there
to think about?

I don't think we should ask her about her electricity or gas. It just

Well... we know John Kuthe's electricity is magical and it's better than

Authorized by your municipality. You don't have a choice of suppliers.
Depending on local laws, you may not be allowed to have a well.

Lots of things are authorized by our municipalities, but we don't call
them municipal.

Municipal liquor store?
Municipal restaurant?
Municipal cable TV?

Liquor store and restaurant are licensed but not at all controlled aside

Water and cable are usually given exclusive rights and may use municipal
