This article is pretty disturbing because it says that The EPA only reports and punishes air pollution cases however, water pollution cases are no profitable and they take less to no headlines and hence they do not punish it.
It says :" records show that fewer than 6 percent of the water systems that broke the law were ever punished or fined by the EPA." so actually the EPA recieve a lot of water violations and they ignore and do not even consider telling people about it.
I do not have water filter in the house and reading this article made me feel that It is not safe to drink or cook with this water from the tap. If water is not an important expensive headline topic anymore, do we not deserve to even know.
We hear a lot on the news about the panda who had a baby and the tortoises who were cold and had to be taken care of till they can go back into the water and I am sure all that news is very important to the ecology balance. However, the EPA fail to inform us the our water has a higher radioactivity than the "Allowed" level.
I worked with the Department of Environmental Protection with the State of Florida with the Phosphate Management and we always went around for insepction and we mostly inspected the water. A low radioactive low dilution number will be a good water. if we have a high number then a report is made but I am not sure if anyone ever heard about high radioactive drinking water in Tampa.. Have you?
