report conducted at the Center for Environmental Diagnostics & Bioremediation, “the water provided by the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) is safe for human consumption

…the water provided by the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority…

so, what, did ECUA take a water sample to UWF and ask that it be tested?? Isn’t it proper for the agency or organization doing the testing, in cases concerned with public interest and public safety, to properly collect and transport the testing sample to the lab?

Did the study say “BAD WATER” or worst of 100 tested? I have not drank any water not highly filtered and UV treated in over 40 years. Certainly not chlorinated water. That stuff is deadly!

What are guidelines? They are changed to fit budgets.

Yes, well water taste better; but you can’t taste the stuff that does the most harm.

Yes Bill, Larry Walker was on staff at UWF from the late 70’s until he retired in 2007 and he is currently our representative on the ECUA. I don’t think it was very wise for the ECUA to contract UWF to do the study and would have preferred to see someone other than UWF such as Cameron-Cole or another qualified company in the area involved.
So true to Bill, you can’t beat well water!

On the same note our representative on ECUA is Larry Walker. Wasn’t he a professor at UWF? Might still be. Hmmm.

If ECUA commissioned the study how do you think the results would turn out? I’m sure Aesop has a fable that would cover this scenario.

Well water taste so much better than clorine water. Unless you have sulfur water, but unless you test it often you still don’t know if it’s safe. Bottle water is just a guess if it’s safe or clean. Taking the ECUA’s word for it being safe, may be like drinking out of your toilet.
