Still MORE about the water...

The situation is getting worse for homeowners with copper pipes.

That would generally be older homes in the eastern communities.

I started hearing about "Swiss cheese" pipes due to excessive chlorine levels back in November.

Many of the homes in the north end began experiencing leaks, then bursting from breaks.
The rash of plumbing issues were always due to corroding copper pipes.
A retired plumber who lives in the north end spoke to me about his daughter’s water pipes and stated that in his 30 years as a plumber, he knew chlorine corrosion when he saw it.
He coined the phrase "Swiss Cheese" corrosion because he explained that it starts as leaks in small pin holes which then get bigger and bigger. Eventually the holes meet and the pipes burst.

Well, it seems that across the "pond", the Town of Palm Beach residents are experiencing the same issues. Remember... they buy water from the City.

Personally, I prefer Jarlsberg...and no chlorine in my water please...
