and we take it for granted..when the water gets shut off by the township for any reason it will sink in how we couldn't live without it. there is nothing in the world more dear to us than water and to think that there are so many unfortunate people that have no clean drinking water. usually we drink filtered water from our tab but once in a while I like to have these small bottles available to take along.
When the Mississippi flooded in '93, the water plant went down. For nearly a week, we had to pick up water at stations around town. We were allowed up to 5 milk jugs at a time. It really made us think about how much water we use every day, how much do we need versus how much are we using and wasting. It was a humbling experience.
