Tiny shrimp in NYC water

[oxcoug]

For the years that I've spent time in NYC it's been bragged about by New Yorkers - "ah yeah, our water comes straight from the Catskills, our tap water is better than spring bottled water blah blah blah".....

Mmm but only, apparently, if you like tiny shrimp in your water. I guess maybe some people do.

Can't get myself to drink it. I'm dying of thirst right now but I won't go to the tap - have to go out and buy some bottled water.

Wuss, just drink it.

I've been trying. I can't. If it means I'm a wuss then so be it -).

I think shrimp would be the least of my worries when it comes to NYC tap water.

I think itnis a positive thing. It shows the water isn't deadly.
