I would like to see State of the City in print. That has never happened to my knowledge in KO administration.

Have you checked the City of Anderson website? I think they made previous ones available?

I really wish he'd had taken the tap water question seriously, his blowing it off like that was a real disappointment, but thanks for asking it KPaul. 

I guess it has been my imagination which has cost me the small fortune that I have spent on bottled water in the 12 years that I have lived here in Anderson.

 Richard, you should seriously check into a good under-sink reverse osmosis system; that's exactly what you're getting in a lot of bottled water brands. What you've spent in 12 years would have bought you several such systems!

CG is right on. We installed one about 5 years ago and it is amazing. In electric teapot when I would use regular tap water the screen in it would be coated. When using the reverse osmosis clean as a whistle. Another test was hardboiling eggs-always a white residue but none with RO.
