Why I gave up drinking...the water.

I know I've whined about the radium in our water supply before...heck, I'm the one that called the DNR and had Well #12 shut down because of the proximity of the waste dumps...if you can't build the DMV on the same site because of the ground water contamination from the Superfund Dump Sites, you shouldn't be pumping the water into our taps either...

They put a flier in with our water bill telling us that the radium exceeds federal standards, like that protects us or something...PFM...ask me what it means if you don't know. Is it a hazard? I dunno. But I, my daughter, a cat and a dog all had thyroid woes...hmmmm...and some cancers that I can track.

The Mayor wants to pump water in from Lake Michigan. He's a nice guy, but he should get out more: after a heavy rain you can see big brown slicks of human waste floating in huge patches inside the breakwater with scattered "silver fish" floating..."silver fish" being a euphemism for used condoms...

so, being bored, I wrote a semi-literate letter in my best waukesha-ese and sent it to the Waukesha Water Utility. This should be fun. It follows:

Does Waukesha check for pharmaceuticals in its drinking water? We have a lot of old people and people on antidepressants in this area

and what about radioactivity (not radium)? Recently I had I-131 for thyroid cancer and because they no longer keep us "hot" people in isolation in the hospital, we flush our wastes into the city sewer. Do you monitor this? We're supposed to stay in isolation but you know people, the rules are for the other guy.

and the water still tastes TERRIBLE. and it smells like chemicals, not chlorine. I hate showering in it, and forget making coffee ...ugh. "Blended water", indeed. Blended with what is what I'd like to know.

They're really not going to allow "green burials" at Prairie Home Cemetery, are they? Because if I can't plant my dead pets in my backyard because of possible ground water contamination, I cannot imagine untreated human remains in the ground could be much better. Grandma is a little bigger than a canary. That is a municipal cemetery inside city limits near industrial and residential areas. Who comes up with these bright ideas?....
(end of ignoranus letter...yes, ignoranus = dumb @sshole. The place is populated with them I tell ya!)

can't wait for the response. No response? It goes to the Waukesha Freeskin next. It definitely goes into my "other blog"
heh.
