We get our water from Lake Erie further east than Toledo and stop drinking the water about this time of year. Usually lasts for the month of August and part of September.

But speaking of undrinkable water, we spent the week in southern Ohio and couldn't stand the smell of the water. Showers, washing your hands or dishes was unbearable. We drank bottled water. The water had a terrible sulfur odor.
