I suspect there's as much division about THAT as there might be about wearing. That said, you're right re: can't win either way if you're looking for zero opposition, no matter which option you pick.

as Mr. Dress up discovered in India.

350 dollars per home and 125 dollars annually for replacement filters will provide an RO system capable of supplying clean water. I have one in my basement and it works great. It isn't necessary to think industrial size units, in fact, as Walkerton proved, they can be deadly unless they are properly maintained.

Fair, but you (and I) are on private, closed systems. Once it is owned and operated by a third party and serves multiple residents, it's a public system, and I think chlorination is standard now.

Note that full uniform can be viewed as intimidation by the crown...but if explained on the first meeting as a measure of respect is acknowledged...so again...local guidance is key.

Somewhat similar to the arguments for and against uniformed police school 'resource' officers. To some the presence means security; to others, intimidation.

We have that issue at our Island, as a group we have a water supply, which we do our best to keep clean, but without electricity, there is no way to meet the standard, so we have to label it "non-potable" My brother installed a UV system and he has a big enough solar system to easily handle that. I am looking at installing one at our cabin as well, but will have to beef up the solar station as well.
