Has the torrents of rain affected your Alkalinity?

(That's water to the rest of us!) Beer is about 95% water, so if you want to discuss water treatment, filtering etc this is the place to do it!

Has the torrents of rain affected your Alkalinity?

My Alkalinity usually is 22 - 25 ppm CaCO3... today it measured in at a whopping 7, and that's being generous.
Didn't believe it so measured twice.

Anyone else had theirs drop? Is this due to the rain, or is there something else at play?
