It is not readily available here so I have to look around.  BevMo has it 
and sometimes Barron's has it.  It is no great hardship as I always have 
Stone Brewing nearby.

You can tell your partner that my wife and I, many guests, and  
several former caretakers, have taken thousands of showers and baths  
in our stream water. And I am certain it contains coliform bacteria  
and giardia, as there is a strong beaver population upstream.

But we sure don't drink it. Nor do we drink city water.

Your last sentence baffles me. Any generator powered by water would  
be more efficient if the water source was at a higher elevation.
