A survey by the Environmental Working Group released today found 141 unregulated chemicals and an additional 119 for which the Environmental Protection Agency has set health-based limits. Most common among the chemicals found were disinfection byproducts, nitrates, chloroform, barium, arsenic and copper. The state is giving away all those chemicals and not taxing people for them? Someone better get on the stick.

We also have a process to continuously identify new contaminants for which regulation could reduce risks." We will continually search for new things to regulate and thereby protect our jobs.

What are the concentrations? The poison is in the dosage.

Milwaukee still has serious clean water problems due to local government ineptitude. I'm one of the 100's of thousands that was infected by cryptosporidiosis thanks to the city's practice of dumping untreated sewage in Lake Michigan then returning the water to my faucet.

I wonder what ever became of the case of the woman that was pushed into and drowned in a water treatment tank (I think in Jersey), while she was running a test, a few months ago?

which listed the biggest sources as agriculture, industry and urban and sprawl developments. So the only thing which isn't a source for contaminants is free-range spotted owl poop.

This is more a matter of improvements in the apparent sensitivity of chemical analytical instrumentation than it is any change in the quality of water.
Just because you can detect dimethyl chickenwire at 0.0000000000000000000000001 PPB doesn't mean it is going to hurt you.

Wow, I was worried, I thought they said Beer had these problems. Most in WI have beer on tap not water so they are safe.

F-ing moronic - look hard enough you will find a lot anywhere. We got Uranium atoms in ourselves, for the love-o-pete

We should all be drinking that expensive French water. I'm sure it's much safer.
