Drink Your Water!

A non-active person needs a ½ ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. That is 10, 8 oz. glasses of water per day if you are 160 pounds. An athletic person needs more water. The more you exercise the more water you need. Spread out your water intake throughout the day.

Health Statistic: There are approximately 36, 000 private wells in St. Louis Type County . In 2000, 659 wells were tested for coliform bacteria and nitrate nitrogen. 34.4% of the wells failed the initial test. ( St. Louis County Health Report)
