Comments on: ECUA Releases Statement After Water Supply Called Worst In The U.S. http://www.northescambia.com/2009/12/ecua-releases-statement-after-water-supply-called-worst-in-the-us Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:29:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Steven Moore http://www.northescambia.com/2009/12/ecua-releases-statement-after-water-supply-called-worst-in-the-us/comment-page-1#comment-32644 Steven Moore Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:17:47 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=13096#comment-32644 The answer given by ECUA doesn't make any sense just like the other things that are provided by Escambia County. It may well be the stupidest County in the USA as well. There has been no follow-up to this statement, no real scientific evidence that the water they supply is not the worst. This is just another example in a long line of poor services provided by this county and the local governments of the Pensacola area.

There is only so much that I can do about it. I have multiple air fiitration units in our home to remove pollutants from the air, and I use basic filters for the tap water and the water from the refrigerator. These are inexpensive ways to get rid off the basic pollutants. You need to make use of reverse osmosis with certain tolerances to take care of radioactive particles from water. I am still behind with getting such a water filtration system,but I have it on my radar. While our county may have elevated cancer risk, it is not the worst in Florida. Reasonable actions can assist us in reducing the risks of pollution.

Will this new plant have the ability to address these concerns and provide a cleaner source of drinking water than your current facility?

Do your homework, people! Feel free to drink up your bottled water, which is most likely tap water anyways. Also, tap water is not held to the same standards as public tap water. http://www.onlineeducation.net/bottled_water/water_full.jpg http://lighterfootstep.com/2008/05/five-reasons-not-to-drink-bottled-water/ All of the comments so far are most likely being written by uninformed individuals.

I dont blindly believe everything I read but there must be a problem somewhere in order to rank where we did. They admit the data comes from their reports but yet they still claim the water is “some of the best in the country.” I want them to show me just one water system that is worse than ours.

Come on, to me it sounds like if everyone was jumping of the bridge they would join in. What ever happend to ECUA explaining what the actual problem is, taking responsibility, and then telling us how they plan to fix it to be the best darn water in the country. Please answer the who, what, when and where. Who does this affect, what is being done, when will it be done, where is the problem the worse?
