Most people who live in the city seem to be more concerned about the environment than those who live in rural areas. They are more concerned with the water and such as well. Yet the water each year is tested and those results always prove conclusive that the water in metropolitan areas is indeed much cleaner than water in less populated areas and rural areas who get their water from a well you see? So, it is rather interesting when city folks run around and demand everything be clean and pristine when in fact the water in Seattle, Houston, Miami, NYC, Boston, San Francisco, Denver, Dallas, Chicago and LA is some of the cleanest water in any city in the World you see?

Perhaps the more important issues, which are not often looked at are the abatement considerations and issues of concern in Rural America. Water in wells is generally contaminated due to years of fertilizers and other things seeping into the found water from the property. Whereas city water comes in with huge volumes and massive amounts of water flowing through aqueducts, pipes and rivers it is aerated and cleaner in parts per million by a wide margin in fact.

How does the rural water get so bad? It gets bad from misuse and over use of chemicals and lack of care in the use of those chemicals. Then there are issues with storage of empty containers, old equipment, oil, grease, diesel fuel and other contaminants seeping into the water. Consider this in 2006.
