LindaH Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 What's the water like there? Drinkable? (I know it's potable, but that doesn't mean it's fit to drink). We'll be going up there in a few days and will need to dump and get fresh water, but we're wondering if we'd be better off going into town and pay $5 at Rose RV Park to refill our tank with filtered water?

pjstough Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 We dont drink the water at La Posa South, but we do use it for dishwashing and showering. We refill our 5 gallon jugs at the water stands in town that we use for cooking and drinking. 2005 Winnebago Voyage 38J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishjim Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 The places we have been, where the water was drinkable they've added so much chlorine that it no longer is as far as we are concerned.

LindaH Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 We don't drink the water out of our tank, either, but some water smells so bad, we don't want to put it in our tank to use for anything (the water at the Chevron station near Pilot Knob LTVA is a case in point). We've been filling up our 3 5-gallon containers with water from a kiosk to put in our tank and have 6 1-gallon containers that we fill from the same kiosk for drinking and cooking. I guess we'll give it a try...it would be nice to be able to fill up our 5-gallon containers with free water rather than having to pay!

nana25k Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 We have not been in a few years. But when we go we use the water. Never smelled, didn't taste bad. There is a consensus that the water has a high sodium content but I don't have a hard evidence about that.

I think we'll still pay to fill up our 1-gallon containers with water that we use for cooking and drinking (I'm very sensitive to how water tastes...if it HAS a taste, I won't drink it!), but if we can use the water at La Posa for other purposes, it sure would save us some money!

nana25k Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Don't see any reason not to use it for daily needs. After all you black tank won't care?

Lou Schneider Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 La Posa South water is salty, other than that it's fine. No odors that I've noticed. One interesting thing is it's lukewarm as it comes out of the hose faucets, you could almost take it directly to a showerhead and have a nice, warm shower.

Jimalberta Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 We generally drink from our main tank on the MH but at Q we don't like the taste of it from anywhere. So we pay at the kiosks for our drinking water. <p>....JIM and LINDA......2001 American Eagle 40 '.towing a GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 with RZR in the rear. 1999 JEEP Cherokee that we tow as well.

rhianna Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 We are on our 6th year at LaPosa south and have always used the water that is available. Hard with minerals? Yes. But as far as taste, we don't notice anything bad. We do have a Seagull IV water purifier from General Ecology at the sink for drinking. Being a government facility I know that the water is tested on a regular basis for safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhianna Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Also, we use our water tank all the time for drinking and cooking. We regularly sanitize it with recommended bleaching solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
