The Environmental Working Group says that DeKalb has some unhealthy contaminants in its tap water.

#water #DeKalbGA #GeorgiaUSA

My tap water (DeKalb) recently acquired a metallic taste and I can see a slight blue tint when filling a bathtub. Suspecting copper, I had it tested by the UGA extension. They said that copper levels were negligible. The only oddity is that pH is about 9 (EPA recommended range is 6.5-8.5). High pH can cause copper pipes to corrode -- but they didn't detect copper, so I guess that's not it. Not sure what is going on. A carbon filter removes the taste. #water #DeKalbGA #GeorgiaUSA

DeKalb County has had problems with its water system for many years ... I thought this stuff was getting fixed, but maybe not (based on the claims in this petition). Please sound off if you know anything more about this.

This is something I subscribe to for news specifically about #GeorgiaUSA but she does touch on national trends & #policy every week. Also, whither Georgia goest, so goest most of the #SoutheastUSA so it may be of interest to folks in neighboring states as well. It's one of the sources of #news outside Twitter I have relied upon since its inception. The #COVIDDigest, 04Dec2022

Are there any conventions for finding geography-based information? I'm going to try following hastags for my area... but what should I call them?

Please, my #Georgia friends, don't fail us. We need to strip the Republicans of the Senate or nothing can save us from the Libertarian nightmare they are trying so hard to create.

Ding, ding, ding. McConnell currently has a political incentive to do something. He won’t after January 5th. The robust relief the country desperately needs depends on McConnell not being the majority leader. https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1335717503855636485
