Maybe. Or it could be union related, organized crime, or a coverup at the facility. I once got mild chemical burns from bathing in New Jersey tap water, and the water company covered it up. How far would they go to cover up contamination on a large scale?
that is actually a very good thought.
How long ago was that?
I shut it off, opened all the windows, and called the water company.
They matter-of-factly told me there was an "algae bloom" in the Delaware River, and they had to chlorinate the heck out of the water.
That's when I started buying bottled water . . .
