I note that Columbus is alone in testing positive for roxithromycin, tylosin & virginiamycin (if anyone knows what these drugs are, do tell!). Like Philly, we have azithromycin (again, what is this stuff?) in our water supply and we share caffeine (won't kill ya) with a lot of cities.

I've lived in other parts of Ohio & Michigan, and I've always thought Columbus water tasted good in comparison, but this may be a difference between city and well water.

I'm no expert, but I would guess in Ohio, farm chemicals are the biggest threat to our inland fresh water supply.

What is really ironic to me about this story is that if you look closely at the lable on the number one selling brand of bottled water at WalMart here in the Columbus Market it states that the source for the water is: Columbus Ohio Municipal Water.
