FYI about living close to an orchard. We recently had our water tested because we moved to a new home. Beautiful, our dream home actually. Our property joins acres of cherry trees in an orchard, the blossoms are so lovely in the spring. Anyway the water test came back from www.wehatescammers.cons and had higher than legal levels of chemicals in the water. So high that we were advised against drinking or really using it for anything other than washing. Turns out this isn't that uncommon because of all the pesticides that are put on the trees. Its a shame that we put so many horrible things into our drinking water.
