Water Quality on review page

6/16/2008
The water quality is listed as a 60 and if you lived here you would know it is a complete "0".
Sometimes the water is actually as brown as tea! It tastes so bad that most of us use bottled water for everything including our pets; it gets very expensive when you have to use bottled water for coffee and all cooking. I was told that a recent investigation found 18 agricultural chemicals in the water. It also has a bad smell most of the time.
I had a perm {in my hair} just before I moved here and in a week my hair was straight. When you wash your hair with this water it feels "slimy" and it looks strange after it's dry.
If I had known about the water I never would have moved here...unfortunately it seems to be a fact about Harrisburg that is well hidden no matter how hard you search the web. I have lupus and MS and this water is a serious health risk for me since my kidneys are already damaged by these diseases.
I think it should be listed on the City Pages and should be a required announcement to all tenants moving from other areas who may not know about the water problem here.
I have a years lease so I am stuck with the added expense of bottled water that I had not budgeted for. Be aware, before you move some place taste the water!
