I remember as a boy growing up, the water at my grandpa's house being so good and cold it was a treat just to drink the water on a hot summer day. The city of Ravenna used to get their water from Crystal Lake. Now I don't know why, but I really do care as I have thought of moving back to the town in which I was born.
I think it would be a great place to live and raise my family but alas, the city now gets its water from Lake Hodgson. I wonder how many of you know what is right across the street from this lake?
I will tell you. On top of the hill is a cemetery and the water off that ground drains into Hodgson.
I heard a firsthand account of some people getting ready for a burial and finding the bottom casket submerged in water.
Now I don't know why the city does not use Crystal Lake or some other satisfactory body of water, but I can tell you this, I will not drink the water, I will not drink this graveyard water ( YUKKK).
As I said before, I remember as a boy drinking the water at my grandfather's house and it was a treat.
Why they ever changed it I do not know. I do know this, if you had the best water around, a lot of people would come back to Ravenna and the city would thrive. I bet if the founding fathers of the town knew what they had done they would roll over in their graves. Unless that is if their buried by Lake Hodgson. Then they would have to do the backstroke.
