EPA is poised to regulate all ‘bodies of water’ in the US, including ground water,
I’ve run a small water system in Ohio for almost 30 years. Nothing the epa does surprises me! We have 4 deep wells, and before the epa was formed, the Ohio Department of Health said we had some of the best water in the state. Now, it doesn’t matter how good the water is, we’re mandated to do all kinds of unnecessary treatment. Man! Were the customers wee wee’d up when we had to add chlorine,,,, then organo-phosphate. Not unreasonable treatments, but it ruined the taste of the water, and peeps were not happy about that. Anything further will drastically raise their bills. 20 years ago, the epa rep told me that they felt that $1,500 a year for water was completely reasonable. And that was 20 years ago!
