American water violated Drinking water requirements

Water samples taken on sept 23 showed an increased risk the water contained disease causing organisms. As a result people with compromised immune systems, infants, and the elderly may be at risk.

Ooh and we pay top dollar to American Water for our drinking water?? this is potential stomach cancer territory. where are all the board's chronic complainers tonight when this is a premier topic worth complaining about. I think we should not pay our water bill this month.

What is there to say? They suck. Good luck with your don't pay protest though. Utility companies get all kinds of government protection on consumer liability. Just look at PG&E in California. First they get the state to let them raise rates specifically to pay for repairs to the gas main in the San Bruno area. Then they use the money for bonuses instead and never repair the line that was used to justify the fee hike. Then they come back a couple years later, believe it or not, and use the same un-repaired line as an excuse to raise rates again even though they already got the money the first time and didn't do the work. They get the fee hike again and then schedule the actual repair for 3 years later. Then the pipe explodes and levels an entire neighborhood killing a bunch of people. And despite all that the company is under a strict limited liability protection from the state.

Does anyone know how/where to independently test water coming out of the tap? It seems clear that a third party tester would be more objective. I've noticed a stronger chlorine smell lately, but don't know if that is related to this issue.

I called American Water for more info and they came over and got a water sample from my house. Supposedly they are sending it to an "independent" lab for testing. I hope that's true, but somehow I think they will just tell me that there's no problem and of course the water is safe to drink.

I say we drop American Water and just drink from Brainerd Lake.

Can someone summarize the letter? I can't read it on my phone and don't have access to a computer for personal reasons.
