9. Horrific! I went through 4 days of illness before I found out our water was contaminated.

Not the first time either. RVA. I only drink filtered water so I did not get really sick, nor did my pets. I think I got a mild case from a shower. I am now installing a whole house filtration with a uv light as well. Expensive for me. The thought of taking a shower in water contaminated by feces is just so gross.
