Perhaps you should review the Water Authority of Western Nassau County’s Annual Water Quality Report (www.wawnc.org) before drinking (or eating) your next cup of coffee, water or spaghetti.
The recently released information is definitely an eye-opener.
Looking at the Table of Detected Contaminants, you will find that almost every contaminant is either close to or at the maximum levels allowed by New York State.
The water quality issue is not new and it is being addressed but you would think that drinking water used by residents of our area would be of utmost importance with an emergency status to rectify.
While progressives are busy taking away gas stoves, limiting reliable energy production and forcing you to buy cars that won’t go far in the winter to save the world one-tenth of a degree of global warming in the next 50 years, citizens are being needlessly exposed to carcinogens in drinking water.
The cost of correcting the hazardous water is exponentially less than saving the planet.
We must expedite the installation of remedial equipment at all our wells for the health of all of us and our children. The perchlorates (rocket fuel oxidizer) in our water will not speed up the process!
