66¢ a gallon for 200 gallons - $132.00 to fill their hot tub! Or, at least, 1/2 fill it.
But from Wallmart? I guess that means the water will break down faster!  ;D ::)

Wow, what a mess!
And are they continuing to build houses out there?
What is the solution for these people?

I'll just sit back here on the east coast with my little 40 foot hand dug well and jet pump.  It supplies all the water I need for my house and my tub.

Thats crazy.  I had no idea CO had such water issues.

I would think there is a cheaper way than the one gallons from Walmart.  I fill up my 5 gallon jug at the grocery store for my water cooler (instead of a delivery service) for $1.25.  I love my tub, but I have to say there is no way I would be hauling in 450 gallon containers or even 90 of the 5 galloners to do it.

Is there some chemical available to sequester the lead out of the water?

Does the water also come with a box of 'Fortune cookies' that tells you when to add sanitizer, pH up/down, add water, or change the water?
