There's an obvious win-win here. If, as suggested previously, every turd has a silver lining the answer to the problem of silver in the tap water is to drop some turds in it. They will attract all the silver, and are easy to spot and remove. The council can then sell them at Tiffany's to rich people and use the profits to have Evian flown over from France for the municipal authorities to drink - marketed as Eau de Liberte, of course. They can then tell the people who have to drink the tap water that it has been specially processed to reduce its carbon footprint, and is now full of eco-li. Simple.
