If you think your water is making you sick, get it tested by the City: https://www.stamfordct.gov/government/public-safety-health-welfare/department-of-health/resources/environmental-testing

City needs to mandate electric leaf blowers. Better for the environment, less noisy.

If your tap water is making you sick, and your landlord refuses to fix it, there's probably legal action you can take

Stamford has notoriously been a corrupt city since the 60’s

That’s because everything goes unreported

I don't think that is really true or fair. Stamford is one of the safest places in the USA statistically,

We use a filtered water cooler at work to eliminate the plastic. They also make smaller counter units.

Or available at home depot

Tap water through a Pūr filter - Stamford has some great tasting water!

Tap water through a Brita filter.

Maybe bc I rent in a place. Will check into it, but the chances of my landlord fixing the water is slim to none.

Exactly this, drinking bottled water in Stamford is completely insane.

There was a recent effort on this: https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Stamford-considers-limiting-gas-powered-leaf-17723560.php
>The proposal would limit leaf-blower usage — previously exempt from
Stamford's noise control ordinance — to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays,
and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The restrictions do not
apply to city employees and agents operating them "in the course of city
business."

I did this, I freequently (every 4-5 months) got sick (cold/fever). After getting on sams club water, I’m better. So wanted to get on the purified water track. I thank you for the comment and the link, but this would not suit me

So basically if you can’t afford to pay someone to landscape your yard go fuck your self? Yikes.

Those landscapers would dust you, sir.
The Marlboro Red wouldn’t even fall out of the corner of their mouth either. They burn up in the sun all day waiting for some smart-ass like you to say something as dumb as you just posted
Best of luck on your noise free city utopia though

It’s being discussed in Stamford to follow the Greenwich hours which I believe are 8-6 M-F and 3pm on weekends. Part of the problem is landscapers do Greenwich first then come to Stamford in the evening. It’s obnoxious
