Water Problems---Again?
July 19, 2024
Walk down memory lane.
May 2021 “Why the delay? WPB took 8 days to alert public about toxin in water”
Read the story below.
3 years 2 months later I still buy bottled water and the city is once again not notifying residents there is a problem with our water.
The message below was sent by the Town of Palm Beach on 7/18/2024 – 5:20 PM to a friend who subscribes to the Town of Palm Beach for their newsletter.
I was asked if I received notice from WPB officials and I did not.
It’s Friday at 10:00 AM and nothing reported on the local news. Below is a quote from the Town of Palm Beach story, and apparently the town test their water received from WPB and found a problem.
Are you aware Palm Beach has a contract with WPB to purchase city water and are seeking other alternatives. When the contract is completed, and WPB will lose millions of dollars, wait for our water bill to explode.
“During regular and routine testing, recent samples collected from West Palm Beach’s water treatment process exceeded compliance for turbidity (cloudiness) units. The Town of Palm Beach receives its drinking water from the City of West Palm Beach.
Turbidity does not cause health effects. If you have a severely compromised immune system, have an infant, are pregnant, or are elderly, you may be at increased risk and should seek advice from your healthcare providers about drinking this water.”
Mayor James, City Administrator Faye Johnson and City Commissioners I am elderly, is the water safe or not to drink and bathe in? The town of Palm Beach included the notice on the WPB City website. If you are not in the habit of checking the city’s website, you don’t know there is a problem.
