Would you pay for a product that was said to be safe, only to later find out it damaged your health severely?

Yes, Joan would.  Lead poisoning would explain a lot.

  Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's.  Why would you not pay a water bill, for the volume you and your family used? You used it, pay for it.

  The rest is political, and a mix of reasoning to not do the right thing.

Some people are like the 'slinky'. Not really good for much,
but they bring a smile to your face as they fall down stairs.

The social contract is for safe water. Failure to meet the contract relieves the consumer from obligatory payment.

There are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.

That's why I switched to nothing but bottled spring water around 25-30 years ago.  Several people up in Black Canyon City, AZ (or somewhere thereabouts) died because the chlorine injection failed, and the pipes grew biofilms.  I looked at the water reports from some of the other areas around Arizona and saw some ugly numbers, even though the Health Department kept saying "It's safe to drink... REALLY!"  Yeah, sure, you betcha.  I just nodded and kept drinking my Arrowhead Spring Water.  I switched to Ozarka when I moved to Dallas.  I've never heard of anyone having health problems from drinking bottled spring water.

And yet if the water is sold as potable and the it isn't, aren't refunds due? And what about payments for damages?

Some water is so bad that it cannot even be used for bathing. Flushing the toilet is all it's good for. But hey, maybe that's the goal. That way the PTB  can sell more Brawndo, 'cause you know, it's got electrolytes!

Key in your zipcode and see what the Environmental Working Group knows about the recent water quality tests for YOUR tap water.  Dallas city water is in violation for 10 different contaminants.

If you live in ANY metropolitan area (and particularly older cities) and bought a counter-top water filter so you'd be SAFE, think again.  That Brita isn't doing you any good.

http://www.naturalnews.com/046536_water_filters_heavy_metals_lab_results.html

They tested 7 of the top water filters, and tabulated the results.  The lousiest results?  The one with the most advertising.  TELL me you're surprised about that.

They want your e-mail address before they'll let you look at the results, so I'll save your inbox from spam.  Looky here:



To make sense of the numbers, the ZeroWater removed 100% if the aluminum in the test sample.  Across the board, the ZeroWater did the best at removing metals.

That -33.9% under ALUMINUM for Brita means that the aluminum concentration in the water AFTER 'filtration' was roughly 1/3 higher than unfiltered test water.  Brita ADDED some aluminum for you!  :o  Dude.... wait.... what??

edit: If you cruise around that guy's site, he's got Dr. Oz all a-flutter over his 'heavy metal concentrations in foods' reports.  However, if you look at the actual NUMBERS and ignore the graphs, nearly every one is WELL within the limits set by the FDA.  Amusingly, he lists both zinc and copper concentrations (as if they're a Bad Thing), and I take supplements for both. ;-)  The FDA has set somewhat arbitrary limits of around 100 parts-per-billion for most of the heavy metals, which is quite a bit lower than other federal agencies.  100ppb = 0.1ppm (parts per million), and most graphs show about 1/10th of that for the maximum values.

Don't take anything at face value: THINK.

The real tragedy is it's still going on, forgotten.  The bottle water industry realized they're not making any money off of it, so hey stopped using it as an advertising campaign.

Meanwhile, this act of Genocide is ongoing...

Nestle was bottling water not far from Flint for less than $200 a day.
