Cancer causing chemicals found in Long Island Water!

[Pruzhany]

Tap water hasn't been 100% safe to drink all the way back to when the LIE was built on top of the aquifer.

Nothing like Ice cold water from a garden hose. We loved that as kids.

Maybe Long Island should talk to Michigan legal investigative teams.. AS they found a whole treasure trove of Political "Hiding of the ball" back a few years ago!!

When will people understand drinking what comes out of your TAP isn't always safe? IF Regulations are sidelined .. Citizen's will suffer... and Politically prosper by getting $$$$$$$$ that pads their pockets.. and COVER UP nasty decisions that directly affects Taxpayers.. and affects Kids that will suffer the rest of their lives!! Meanwhile HC expenses go up and up and I'm sure Insurance Companies are NOT happy!!

Once DEREGULATION gets sanctioned... For Profit Companies/Lobbyists, will take advantage and milk everybody financially, physically that end up costing taxpayers in their POCKET with Civil cases ... Capitalism may be great for deep pocket rich people.. BUT regular day to day citizens.. NOT SO Much!!

Just a few links to outline when Politicians trun a blind and and HIDE the BALL to pad their pockets "Politically"!!

Thanks for your help everyone.

We are having our pelican water filtration set up by our plumber and using Poland Spring Water for drinking.

So on top of all the other expensive expensives of living on LI, now add bottled water as another standard expense. Check.
