George Dietz, a local volunteer, scoops up a sample of the water into a clear plastic bag. It's cloudy and brown.
Well, maybe they didn't have proper sediment control but a creek is a lot different than well water. Most people don't drink out of creeks, sediment control is done more for the purpose of protecting fish habitat.
What? You're concern is sediment in your well water and then go haul dirty brown sediment filled water from the creek to flush your toilet instead?
Buy a sediment filter for your well water. Even people not beside giant data centres should have one just because it keeps the system functional and running better. It is practically a requirement to have one.
