"Who put orange juice in my orange juice?" he roared.
A report recently released by Environmental Working Group reveals that Fields may have had a point. If you have no filter attached to to your tap, and I sure as hell don't, the water you drink may include industrial or agricultural contaminants that pose health risks. Most of these are at low enough levels to comply with the Safe Drinking Act, but still are at levels considered too high by authoritative scientific studies. By the way, the federal government has failed to add a single pollutant for 20 years. This includes chemicals like 1,4-dioxane, which has a demonstrated connection to cancer.
Lehigh Valley drinking water appears to include contaminants.
Bethlehem water, for example, contains five contaminants in levels linked to cancer: Bromodichloromethane, chloroform, chromium, Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and 4-Androstene-3,17-dione hormones in drinking water that come from human and animal wastewater discharged into drinking water sources.
But it tastes good.
Lehigh County Authority has seven contaminants, including Radium-228 & Uranium.
This explains why it sometimes glows in the dark.
Easton, which like Bethlehem only has five contaminants, can count radium-228 among them.
Mmmmm. Radiummmmm.

I drink Zero water. Much better than a Britta. Even my coffee and ice cubes made with Zero water. Can I say the names Bernie?
Bernie, the assklowns were up early for the festive drinking of the water additives. I had known something was in the water besides floating fecal solids!
As you MMmmm good for the mind!
Zero water is a scam. The filters only work for a few days before smelling like rotting fish.
I'd be less concerned about radioactive contaminants, since many of these are naturally present at low levels everywhere and have always been ... it's the industrial, pharmaceutical & especially the agricultural contaminants that are concerning. Surface water sources of drinking water especially rivers are also more prone.
Lead leaching from dated pipes is the most immmediate health concern. Radon in basements could be a silent killer. Have your homes tested.
100% of spinach eaters die. We need sensible legislation.
Here I am and thought it was local civil engineers trying to get out of rewriting the 100yr flood plain. Come to be in lightened now all along its been the, authoritarian whitey putting the glowing toxic green slime in local drinking water systems!
Free bottled water all around!
