Poison Water in Appalachia
They've been trying to get bids to lay water lines for over two years, but every time, the bids have been deemed "over". As a result, residents are limited to the random 12-24 gallons delived weekly for their drinking and cooking. It's not enough to bathe, so they have to use the water despite the fact that water contaminated with heavy metals causes rashes.
Where's superfund? The EPA? You can't tell me that the levels in their water supply are safe (even with the "new" definition of safe given by Bush-ists).
