let's do the "flushing" math...
300 gallons
1.6 gallons per flush
thats 187 flushes per day
these guys were REALLY sick
the residents of catalina island ca use salt water
for the toilets but the disposal system for the salt water
is different from the fresh water systems
i thought salt water would make
the decomposition in the septic tank fail

I did the math too which was why I didn't believe him but he swore it was true. And his wife and daughters standing behind him didn't offer up
anything to the contrary which made me think it was probably true. The way he put it to me was that "they used their toilet the way most people use
trash cans". Ridiculous I thought, but when he said it they just gave me this look like, "whatever".
I also asked him about the salt killing the bacteria in his septic. He said that he had run it that way for three years and it was still going strong.
The microbes probably mutated...

Drinking water comes in clear plastic bottles. Water out of the tap is good for everything else, bathing etc. Sand in your water? Weird? Are you near
the end of the water trucks delivery route? Maybe you're getting the dregs out of the bottom of the tank?

I am also located in San Antonio Del Mar. Fernando, the water guy we've been using for a long time, now obtains his water from a well near the Sonora
Hotel. The water in the past has always been a little salty, but since the prior well virtually dried up, Fernando has been obtaining the water he
delivers from the one near the Sonora Hotel.
Do you have any idea how I may find (get in touch) with Fermin (sp?).
Also, to all of you who have taken the time to respond, I thank you.
The water in question is not used for drinking, only for bathing, washing clothes, toilets, dishes, etc. We buy purified 5 gallon containers for all
water used for drinking, etc.
