Meant to post this last week. I was working on a friend's boat and needed some weights to hold something in place until an adhesive cured. I'd brought several clear plastic juice bottles for the purpose.
I went to fill the first one from a potable water faucet on the pier. OMG! I couldn't believe nor could I describe the "stuff" that came out of the faucet into the plastic bottles. It was disgusting! This faucet must have been idle for quite some time. Further, it was on a long down leg from the main line which ran above under the roofed pier. Sediment must have been accumulating in the down leg for years. So, my caution is to always liberally purge potable water supply faucets on piers. You don't know how long that particular faucet, supply leg, etc. has been idle. You don't know if some strange insect has taken up residence in the faucet. Purge. Purge. Purge. -- Dennis C.
