Look at the the data from the other cities and you’ll realize that the reason ECUA ranked so low because it did almost 75,000 tests as compared to the average of 420? Of course more contaminants showed up more often……But not a one was above federal EPA or even the stricter state DEP limits. They were simply above EWG “guidelines”. That’s why cities with thousands of fewer tests but more violations (red marks) ranked higher.

And hello……anydaynow you contradict yourself…. calling the man a liar and then confirming that EWG makes money from the sales of filters……even if it’s only 4%…they are still making money from the sale of water filters.

EWG didn’t spend a long time on this report, and they did not perform one single test. They simply compiled the information from the utilities and states that took the time to send it to them. And they did it to “raise public awareness” (read create fear ) in order to further their mission to pressure the EPA to adopt stricter standards. That may be an admirable goal, but distorting information to get to that goal isn’t.

And by the way, the information on that EWG used is sent to ECUA customers every year…….we already had the “truth” mailed to us by ECUA.

I guess he could’ve told a bigger one, he could have said those tests are worthless and that those chemicals that are found in the water are fake.

That guy should lose his job over this.
