heyy, whats in your water?

So on the news yesterday there was a thing about the water in chesapeake.
yeah, so, they built this golf course using fly ash,
and its polluting the water supply!
=O yeah, and whats the point of golf courses?

the residents get their water from wells.
the people that built it claim its safe, but the residents dont trust it.
they say the water smells funny and has icky particles floating in it
and they refuse to drink or bathe in it.
oh, and did i mention some of the stuff found in the water is LEAD and ARSENIC?
wow, thats REALLLYY safe ;]

BUT chesapeake built a shed with a pipeline to the city water supply.
this is temporary, theyre trying to convert all the homes near this site to city water lines.

yeahhh, like we dont pollute enough already.

  1. Great video Alexis. I'm glad you found this. I'm really proud of the work you're doing. I don't think I'll ever drink tap water again :)
