Other things to note The local tap water has been tested and deemed safe for drinking, but we also provide bottled water if you prefer. It is located throughout the kitchen and in cabinets under the microwave. Because the local water has a high mineral content there are “rust” -looking stains in tub and occasionally in toilets. Not to worry: all clean. All just fine for use. Note: in kitchen please use only one high voltage appliance at a time, i.e. microwave, toaster oven, Krups water boiler. If not, electric will go out & circuit breaker will need to be thrown down in the basement. It’s an old house. Care needs to be taken in this regard. Thank you.
