What I understand the screw up there was not testing each well before putting it into potable water service.
It's not a new thing. My grandfather had a gig during the 1930's testing wells and springs for the USDA. My grandmother said a lot of wells and springs people were drinking from were contaminated with heavy metals and bacteria.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoYears ago, I did a college paper on the Bangladesh arsenic poisoning. Short wells and deep wells are fine. It's medium depth wells that are the problem because they are all drawing water from a particular rock formation that contains arsenic. No one knew that beforehand. Relief organizations went in to put a stop to a serious crisis. They succeeded. Then reports of arsenic poisoning began emerging.
