For some reason I thought I had seen a public meeting that they were discussing it.

Guess I will be getting the home systems for the kids as a Christmas present.

I always worried about there pipes being a problem, so I should have done this some time ago.

The Kinetico from Second Wind and other dealers is excellent. We stumbled onto them when we bought a house with one already installed in the late 90s, and we've had them in Mass and NH ever since.

If you do get them, it is not difficult to replace the filters yourself, so you do not need the annual or bi-annual service visit

For fifty cents, two quarters, you can take home a gallon of Laconia water from the reverse osmosis vending machine in the entry vestibule at the Hannaford's in nearby Gilford, next to Lowe's.

Bring an empty water container. This used to cost 25-cents/gal but was increased to 50-cents maybe two years ago.

For 50-cents at the Market Basket in Plymouth, you can buy a very cold 16-oz plastic bottle of cola, orange, ginger, or root beer soda. Lately, they have been selling out of the cola flavor and the shelf space will be empty. Similar item at Hannaford's is like $2.19 or 2.29.

I rermember there being springs at various places around the state where people would bring gallon jugs to fill up and take back to MA. One was on Rt 11b in Gilford. I remember peopel asking me to fill jugs from the spring on Welch Island to bring to them in Laconia, late 50's.

There's still one in Mont Vernon/Francestown that I drive by weekly.
