This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story (slrpnk.net)

My girlfriend's house has sulfur-laden well water. I find it absolutely revolting, taking a shower feels like I'm in a pot of hard boiled eggs, but she swears she's used to it.

I think it's subconsciously the reason she's always dehydrated.

Oh god, I don't know if I could do that. Our showers are softened and... something else that removes the smell. And we have an under-sink 5-stage filter for drinking or cooking with because if you use the well water for, say, stew or pasta, it just tastes "off"
