My starter has had to be thrown out!
Two days in a row, when we were out of spring water, I refreshed my starter with tap water that had been left standing overnight. Yesterday, we were told to boil our water for twenty minutes before drinking it, so I wouldn't dare use my starter now. E-coli was mentioned as a possibility in the water and I have no desire to poison anyone with my bread. Onwards and upwards, I will start all over again once the boil water advisory has been lifted and we no longer have to use bottled water for everything.
