We only drink tap. I grew up on it and so did my husband. We also give it to our four animals and cook with it daily. Water is the number one consumed beverage in my house, coffee is number two. Guess what we make our coffee with? Tap water.

The city botched this alert and had people questioning if we were about to be the next East Palestine or Flint. There was no consideration of how long this was going to last and people need water to live.

You're cracked if you really think no one will be drinking the water they bought, or buying more because they don't trust the all clear.

making hella money for their overpaid executives. if only the PPA was required to spend that revenue in the right places. they can't even pony up for public schools (which they were mandated to do).

We would get calls from out-of-town parents asking if the water was safe to drink. We told them Philly had good tap water and they could find the reports online if they wanted to check.

Due to inexplicable issues I've had with the website and the fact that you'll get the new Key Card immediately, this is what I do. They require you put maybe $5 on the card, but its there for you to use once the transaction is done.

There were a couple cars on Wednesday that suddenly had boots on them. No idea why but someone came around! Pretty sure one of the cars is owned by a cop.

Reply to Analysis | Are Philadelphia and Boston really the most neighborly cities in America? by PhillyAccount

I’m in Boston right now. Everyone’s been nice, and the city is nice to be in, but my god, getting around is absolutely brutal. I’ve never been more frustrated by poor urban design in my life. It makes it not worth coming to. Philly isn’t perfect, but bless our city.

I get them sometimes even though I have a residential pass and I'm in the right spots, and then when I dispute I don't hear back for months and eventually have to pay anyway

Unlikely. I just bought a countertop water distiller because I haven't been able to get distilled water all winter. Luckily we never had long-term hard freezes and I was able to access rain water to boil for my humidifier and feed directly to my plants, but if we had a CPAP or other medical devices, that wouldn't work.
