Water quality changed in NY?

[bkstang]

I've noticed when making RODI water recently that tap water quality has changed drastically. My tap water TDS was constantly 32-34, now it's 48 and the sediment filter is clogged pretty quickly. Did anybody notice this? I'm in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Maybe it's locally?

Haven't noticed tds much, but I've been blowing through sediment filters. Matter of fact bought a case of 50 just last week for that reason

I know they have been working on the new New York City water tunnels for 30 years and the Brooklyn tunnel was completed in 2003 or so. They have been building new shafts for it and won't finish until 2020. I don't know if that has anything to do with your water quality. Here in Long Island, we always have lousy water.

Just what i was thinking, and this isn't the first i'v heard of nyc water quality dropping over the last few months. Hmm

Guess it could be worse, like if we were in Flint MI

Wow I wish my tds was 48 out of the tap. Over here in jersey I'm at 130 every day.

On the Nassau/Suddolk line I get a typical 25-30 TDS on nice day.. Goes up to 120+TDS on rainy days. Been like that for a while though. I'm obviously in a different water district though.

Depends on your water district. Here in Valley Stream, nassau county, it's 140-180 all year long.

You guys should post your finding on House's tds resource thread https://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/general-discussion/191737-tds-resource-thread.html

Same here in si, always 32 now 46

Mine is up here at Pratt as well. Usually 32, now 45 which is still a very low number for a city water source. My guess is they are working on the system and/or doubled down on the lead abatement additions in the wake of Flint and Newark.
