On Oct 19, 2022 American Feed called me they have an opening to deliver water to my home.( I am in a rural area and water delivery is common). I payed by check as their store is not close to my house to pay. I assumed to make the check payable to American Feed. Either **** or **** told me has to be made out to ******************** I did that but thought this was strange and illegal as this is a business that delivers water.
I had turned off my water pump waiting for a plumber.....so I was only drinking bottled water from store or neighbor. On the 22nd or 23rd of month I was outside in back of my house near my water tank. The top of tank where they filled it full on Oct 18th was completely off. There was bird p*** inside the tank and on the lid if the tank and the tank.
It is normal to see bird p*** on outside of tank with closed lid. If I need to open tank and see this on the lid I let hydrogen peroxide sit on this area and rinse off. But occirs of course non of the bird droppings get inside due to lid being on.
I called the store and **** said **** is not in. I told him I want compensation due to the above that they made my water unsafe and now I have a series of problems to deal with including illness from this. He told me to just deal with it. I requested ***************** me. **** said she would but never heard back
I ordered a water bacteria test from Amazon.....tested negative 5 times.
I drank 2 oz of the water and doubled over in pain, had cramps and the chills until I found a medical remedy .......took about 5 days. Had MMS in the house and being very I'll had to dive 50 miles round trip to get 2 other medications.
But still no safe water. I have added food grade h.p. to the tank but doctor wants me to get professional bacteria test on the tank 2 times. Fortunately there is a local business that can do this for me. E coli from warm.blooded animals is poison in water.
After tested I may have to repeat the test after a 2nd treatment. If requires a lot more h.p. I might have to wait a week or to to retest.
It is 50 miles round trip to buy water bottles to shower with and drink.
No was very sick but still am unable to drink it. If I get pH back up to 7 then I can shower
To sterilize the water the pH gets to low to be safe. Have to wait this time out
My father almost died from e coli of a bird in home made jam. Was hospitalized for several days.
Due to this experience in my family I had some home remedies that eased my symptoms to drive and get meds. Bacteria like this is a grave problem.
American Feed is taking no responsibility for negligence.
I want a financial settlement or free water.
