THE TEST RESULTS ARE IN

As you may have heard I had my water tested by an outside source, not the city. The results are back and I am sick to my stomach. Here I have listed the top take aways from the test results:

ARSENIC - 68.39 should be under 10.00

IRON - 89.36 should be 0.30

MANGANESE - 1.09 should be 0.05

TURBIDITY - 99.80 should be 0.50 or lower

The arsenic levels are nearly 7 times higher than the maximum level recommended by the EPA.

The water that was tested was the orange water I saved the day of the flushing. The flushing that happened at around 8:20 am on December 3rd while I was in the shower. Flushings that happen randomly through our community and are not announced to the residents that I know of. These levels of Arsenic, Iron, Manganese and Turbidity (coloration) are very highly concentrated after the mains are flushed and it is scary.
