I saw a movie more than ten years ago about people in a town somewhere in Southern California getting sick and dying from drinking water that has been contaminated with parasites! The scientist and engineers thought they got the problem solved by replacing the filtration system and there was still parasites getting through the water filtration system! Then they stumbled upon the idea to come up killing the parasites and purifying the water by making a using a powerful ozone generator. I wonder if this is the movie i saw years ago(?) I only saw the movie once. I clearly remember the movie ends where they used the ozone generator and the water came out clear of parasites! Is this the movie??

This movie Lifetime TV during the week that hurricane Katrina ravished the Louisiana coastline. Usually, when I watch these movies, I just watch them. But this particular day, it made me cry when the military brought the tanker truck in with water on the back and all the citizens were turning the truck over to get to the bottles of water. Even when the bottles were bursting on the ground, and the dog was licking it up out of the cracks of the sidewalk, art just imitated life a little too close for me that day.Other than that, I found it quite interesting (for a Lifetime movie.) Usually, they include some rich, white woman whose perfect life is shattered by a horrible secret, a best friend who sleeps with their husband, or and evil child they gave up years ago who has returned very bitter.

ThirstA chemical engineer struggles to find a way to kill a deadly parasite that has infiltrated a town's water supply.Let's face it: 'Thirst' is an extremely silly film, and there's a few too many movements in the plot that would have absolutely no chance of occurring in that thing called the real world (a world which I'm sure seems alien to Hollywood at times). But while 'Thirst' is very nearly mediocre, I already feel like I'm raining on the parade of the film, as it's just too hard not to become marginally interested in the mayhem that ensues. 'Thirst' is a very run-of-the-mill production, even for a television movie, but it gets by thanks to its sheer energy. It's a small guilty pleasure, but there's some downright irritating acting from a sizeable portion of the cast here, and this partially bulldozes the arid thrills of 'Thirst'.~ 6/10 ~

This disaster movie is not like other disaster movies. Other disaster movies tend to follow a very rigid structure and not stray from it.First we meet the primary characters and we get to know them through scenes of "everyday life".Then the secondary characters whose "lives will be changed forever" are introduced.Lastly the "enemy" is introduced. Mostly in the form of the mighty bureaucrat who won't evacuate the city or close the beaches or whatever.This movie introduces one secondary character and uses tertiary characters for all the "unwashed masses" who are just supposed to die anyway. This enables the movie to concentrate on the efforts of the hero(es) to fix the situation and not have to show a lot of pointless drivel about dogs trapped in rain pipes and children being caught under buses.Plus, the characters are actually well drawn and the story is somewhat believable.I was entertained for an hour and a half and that's really the point, right?
