I dont think being concerned about water quality that has been bad most of the summer over reacting... Who wants to swim in sh*t??? Not me...
I do not either. I think there are people that do not want there to be a problem or who have never any repurcussions because of the water that do not want to admit there may be a problem. It sounds like there are more concerned people than not on here. If there is any possibility that there is a serious problem with the water than it should be handled by the appropriate agency, whoever that may be. I will say it again re the drinking water, my dog and cat were sick with very bad stomach problems. Someone that lives here as well asked if I was giving them tap water. I would have never thought water could be an issue. I started giving them bottled water and I kid you not, they both got better in no time. An expensive trip to the vet and it was just the water. We get warning now and then to boil the water and I do not believe they are telling us about all of the times there could be a problem. So I believe at times there is a problem with the drinking water. I'm not saying always, but it is not a coincidence my cat and dog got sick when I started giving them tap water (I used to give them bottled water and stopped to cut back on expenses) they got sick and well when I stopped. The vet found nothing wrong. They are fine now.
I do not want there to be anything wrong with any of the water sources, but I also don't want to get sick from drinking it or swimming in it. I would rather face the facts and find the source of the problem so that it can hopefully be remedied. Our beautiful water and beaches are being polluted (what a terrible word) by something and we need to find out what before it is too late to do anything about it.
