OPINION-SPECULATION.Nope, I don't think it's too quiet.

Maybe the jihadis who organized this terrorist attack are a bit more professional (for lack of a better term) than the street level jihadis.

OR

It could be the terrorists are very scared and laying low.

One way or the other, we'll find out eventually.

Neighborhood On Edge After Chemicals Found In Water

POSTED: 6:56 am EDT July 7, 2005
UPDATED: 8:10 am EDT July 7, 2005

A community in Orange County, Fla., is on edge after possible cancer-causing chemicals were found in their water, according to Local 6 News.




Hundreds of homeowners crowded into the Wedgefield Gold Club Wednesday night in an attempt find out if the water is safe to drink after receiving a letter from the Wedgefield Utilities Company saying the water contained abnormally high levels of trihalomethanes.




In recent weeks, at least 100 people have come forward to say that the water in Wedgefield has made them sick, Local 6 News reported.

Hundreds of homeowners crowded into the Wedgefield Gold Club Wednesday night in an attempt find out if the water is safe to drink after receiving a letter from the Wedgefield Utilities Company saying the water contained abnormally high levels of trihalomethanes.

Trihalomethanes are known to cause problems with a person's liver, kidneys, or central nervous system and could increase a person's chance of getting cancer, Local 6 News reported.

Officials with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Health Department explained to residents that the trihalomethanes come from the chlorine used to purify the water.


The DEP told Local 6 News that they plan to resolve the problem within the next few months, Local 6 News reported. However, residents said it is already too late and worry about long-term damage to their families.

Resident Christina Ingram has been drinking the water in Wedgefield for 8 years, according to the report.

"I do have a little something inside my bladder," Ingram said. "They're leaning a little toward bladder cancer."

Wedgefield Utilities officials did not attend the meeting to address concerns about the water, Local 6 News reported.

Homeowners are planning another meeting sometime soon, according to the report.
