Imagine a 240 year old house, that need new windows, new pipes, new insulation, new wiring, and paint job, is surrounded by a 50 foot metal electrified fence controlled by a super computer in the basement, next to a 200 year old water heater, with cobwebs all around.
This is the United States of America. We spend so much money on the military but all our infrastructure to crumble all around its defenses.
People have only thought about their tap water after Flint Michigan, no I take that back, people have been buying bottled water for years because they don't trust their tap water. Why didn't all these people that don't use tap water complain to their city and states to have action taken.
I think it is because millions of people feel that our Congressmen don't listen to us anymore. We pay monthly water bills, and we receive hard water that is bad for the skin, and tap water that is lethal to our tropical fish because of extremely high Ammonia contents.
Why should we have to pay for water that is contaminated, that is hard water with Ammonia in the water, our children drink. There should be a law that any house that is sold has a total house water filtration system installed since we can no longer trust our water treatment companies anymore
People complain about contaminated stream water but water treatment plants have not be rebuild or expanded in most cities. Houston is breaking ground on a new water treatment plant, long overdue.
I see a list of only 20 new water treatment plants being build for 320 million people. Something is wrong with this picture.
You elected people to Congress who care 0% for the environment, allow water treatment and release standards has been slacked. But, why does corporations want to kill Americans.
You don't kill customers. lower profits with dead customers.
When we should be suing all all state Capital for criminal negligence. A five month investigation by the Associated Press has discovered that small quantities of drugs, including antibiotics, sex hormones, and anti-seizure compounds, have been found in public drinking water supplied to over 40 million Americans across the US.
Every household should be law be allowed to deduct 100% of the cost of a water treatment system for their entire house. Such systems as Aquasana and a few others remain almost all contamination from drinking waterm which have been highly rated for water treatment should be mandated before selling any house in any city, and in any state. I am not advertising a specific water treatment system, but hoping people will think about this madness.
We pay for water that is hazardous to drink.
WE spend $700 billion on defense but only a fraction of that for defense of our drinking water and water treatment plants.
No new aquaducts anywhere in this country to increase the flow of fresh water to areas of the country that need. Maybe our Congress needs to read about how the Roman Empire had far superior Aquaducts over 2000 years ago that we have today in the United States.
