What’s that smell? Health Department explains odor in some Saginaw tap water

| Dept Of Health

SAGINAW, MI – Residents in Saginaw might have noticed an odd smell coming from their taps when they go to grab a drink of water.

The Saginaw County Health Department issued a statement on Thursday, Oct. 8, after the department and the City of Saginaw received a deluge of calls from citizens concerned about the smell of their drinking water.

There is no public health concern, the department said.

According to the health department, the City of Saginaw’s water system recently experienced a seasonal turn over in its water source out of Lake Huron that has led to the an odor in tap water.

“This is a normal occurrence but does not usually last as long as it did this year,” said the a statement from the health department.

The Michigan State University Extension defines seasonal turnover as an event that takes place when cold weather begins to dominate the

3 Benefits of Water Kefir, the Bubbly Bev I Can’t Stop Sipping

October 9, 2020

| Health Benefits

Random not-that-fun fact about me: I’m not really a beverage person. Sure, I drink way too much iced coffee, almost always get my eight glasses of water in a day, and tend to grab a kombucha whenever the grocery store has my favorite flavor, but soda? Too many bubbles. Lemonade? Eh. Milk? Only when served with Oreos.

So you can imagine my surprise when I discovered a new-to-me drink that I could not. Stop. Guzzling. The drink in question? Water kefir.

But it’s definitely not new—the probiotic-packed drink dates back to the 1800s, says GT Dave, founder and CEO of GT’s Living Foods. “The cultures were found on the skin of a prickly-pear cactus,” he says. “Since then, these cultures have been primarily used in Latin communities to ferment sweetened water and juices into diverse probiotic drinks that are dairy-free and low in sugar.”

Having trouble picturing that? Erase

“With not a lot of major economic indicators released this week, the focus all comes down to Trump’s illness,” said Daisuke Uno, chief strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Bank.

“There is a welter of information about the severity of his condition, and that is making it difficult for market participants to make a move,” Uno said.

Just weeks before the Nov. 3 election, Trump was flown to hospital for treatment for the coronavirus on Friday, adding another layer of uncertainty and market volatility as Trump’s re-election campaign seeks to fend off Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

Lower Coast Algiers under boil water advisory after vehicle strikes fire hydrant |

Lower Coast Algiers residents were advised not to drink tap water Friday after vehicle struck a fire hydrant, reducing water pressure in the area.

A boil water notice remained in effect at 6:11 p.m., almost six hours after the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board posted it. The agency said it might take 24 hours to obtain results of water quality tests.

But City Council member demands improvements on customer billing

The S&WB issues boil water advisories in areas where pressure drops below 20 pounds per square inch. Pressure reductions in pipes could allow bacteriological contaminants to enter.

Healthy adults are cautioned that:

  • When washing hands, they may use soap and tap water, dry hands, then apply hand sanitizer. It’s safer to wash with bottled or boiled water.
  • When showering or bathing, they should be careful not to swallow any water. Infants, young children and disabled persons should

After Wildfires Stop Burning, a Danger in the Drinking Water

October 2, 2020
| No Comments
| Health News

Two months after a wildfire burned through Paradise, Calif., in 2018, Kevin Phillips, then a manager for town’s irrigation district, walked from one destroyed home to another.

Burned out cars, the occasional chimney and the melted skeletons of washers and dryers were the only recognizable shapes.

“You started to actually be shocked when you saw a standing structure,” he said.

Mr. Phillips, now Paradise’s town manager, was following the team taking samples from intact water meters connected to homes that were now reduced to gray ash. He knew from the Tubbs Fire in 2017 that harmful toxins were likely in the water distribution system: Rapid action would be needed to protect people returning to the community from the dangers of toxins like benzene, which can cause nausea and vomiting in the short-term, or even cancer over time.

Traces of coronavirus found in Lake Superior water, researchers say

| Health Article

Traces of the novel coronavirus were found in water samples taken from Lake Superior beaches in Duluth, Minn., according to researchers with the University of Minnesota Medical School, Duluth campus.

Since July, researchers have collected water samples from eight different beaches in Duluth in an effort to better understand how the novel virus “acts in the water and whether it can spread there,” the Star Tribune reported. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is “no evidence that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can spread to people through water” at oceans, lakes and other natural bodies of water, as well as pools, water playgrounds and hot tubs.)

"The research team describes the detection level at 100 to 1,000 copies per liter, or 10,000 times lower than levels observed in wastewater," the researchers said.

President Trump made a number of claims about lowering drug prices during his debate with Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Most were untrue. (Arkasha Stevenson / Los Angeles Times)

There was much to dislike in this week’s presidential debate — the lies, the rudeness, the inability of the White House incumbent to rise above the level of a cranky kindergartner.

For me, the low point came not when President Trump refused to condemn white supremacy, and not when he tore into the sons of Democratic candidate Joe Biden, but when he once again sought to convince the American people that he had single-handedly lowered the cost of prescription drugs.

Trump claimed that drug prices “will be coming down 80% or 90%” thanks to him.

He claimed that a series of executive orders have forced pharmaceutical companies to slash prices.

And the one that floored me: Trump claimed that the cost of
