Letter writer Jean Steuernagel calls for action with Moorestown’s water.
RE: A recent Letter to the Editor by James Mullin.
Mr. Mullin, sad to say, your inexhaustible efforts to call attention to the (TEC) groundwater pollution of Moorestown’s drinking water has now been exhausted and reduced to advising residents to go out and buy clean drinking water ($2.87) at Wegmans for a 38 bottle, 16 oz case.
My letter writing efforts to the Sun along with Mr. Mullin, and Ms. Babcock of the White Water Coalition have had little effect in getting the EPA to help us get some clean water into infant formula powder or after school Kool Aid drinks.
This critical problem pours from everyone’s spigots, in the kitchen, bathroom and back yard hoses that kids love to drink from. To test the reality of this problem, just pull up the drain stopper on any sink and see all the disgusting black goo dripping from it. Then take your index finger and push it up that same pipe your drinking water comes from.
To be more exact, put your mouth around that same pipe and drink your mouth directly from the source. Wouldn’t that make you queezy?
We all know something is going on, and we all know how to address the problem of contaminated wells. The question that remains is why doesn’t or elected Town Council get moving on this important issue? Money is not an excuse.
The White Water Coalition and all Moorestown voters want action now, today. Let’s go, Mayor Delgado.
