After living for 8 years in Christchurch, New Zealand that too has naturally treated artestian springs for its drinking water that is constantly under threat of treatment. I am familiar with this issue.  It is my understanding that New York City also has a naturally treated water supply.  What are they doing as a response to this same ruling?  This additional treatment is also going to have ongoing energy costs, how do these strive with the Obama administration strive for alternative energy systems?  In this case Portland and New York are both using the earth's systems for cleaning and energy.
