My Actifit Report Card: February 25 2025

No water - no life

That's what my father taught me many many years ago. I'm pretty sure those words still hold.

Now I'm still getting my steps going back and forth to the home in trying to prepare. It's slow going as the workers didn't come today. Other commitments.

But today I figured out how to get my well water checked.. Sort of.

The department of science and technology (DOST) does water testing. Hooray! Mostly.

There are two things I'm worried about on the water:

1. Bacteria -- if there are bacteria in the water that is concerning, even worse if they are coliforms and undrinkable in they are E. Coli as that shows there is crap (literally) on the water.

And

1. Nitrates--worried about this because this land was used as crop land and fertilized. If the fertilizer gets into the water? It won't poison you immediately but can make you such over time.

So I sterilized jars

Went to get a sample

Then took it to the lab.

Side bonus.. I know I'm not in Canada when I see a sign saying to drop off weapons at the front counter.

Now the good news is I can get my water checked for pathogens... But they say the treatment to test for nitrates in unavailable so they are working on an alternate test. So, I have to either wait or get the test done later.

But at least I'll have some idea about the water in a week when the first test is done.

And hopefully I'll have another post for tomorrow.
