BTW I wonder how much copper actually leaches into water when using copper roofing.
The copper oxidizes and I guess some of it gets leached out and flushed down the gutter.
Especially with acidic rains from air pollution.

Some water companies are picky however. I asked mine if I can discharge used denatured
ethylalcohol and they said no. I wonder if vomiting into the toilet after consuming
too much alcohol is forbidden too.

They take nasty chemicals back in the apotheke however.
