POLLUTION OF RUNNING WATER IN NEW YORK CITY GETTING MORE AND MORE SERIOUS

Too much chlorine in water, parasites breeding in reservoirs, Non-filtering system unsafe
By staff reporter.

According to a New York Daily News (NYDN) report on 18 this month, running water in New York City is in question. Pollution of the water by excreta and trash is more serious in NYC than in any other cities in U.S., the content of fluorine, which is harmful to health, in the water is getting higher and higher, and a kind of parasite that can hasten the death of AIDS patients are breeding in several reservoirs in the upstate water source area, which has aroused ever deeper concern in the public.

New York City had been known for its clean running water for a long time. But today, according to the New York Daily News, the quality of NYC's running water is no longer as good as it was before, and furthermore, it may present a threat to the health of the local people.

Alburg, a microbiologist of Yale University, said, "It's certainly a matter of the utmost concern." He pointed out that the non-filtering system in NYC is a very dangerous system.

Gilbert, Director of the Department of Environmental Protection of NYC said the running water system in NYC is good, but she admitted, "Grave problems could occur if we continue to act as usual."

According to the findings of a four-month investigation carried out by NYDN, people in NYC had been kept in the dark about the fact that running water in NYC was seriously polluted. The newspaper consulted several hundred NYC and Federal documents, which they obtained according to the Information Freedom Law, and found the following facts:

  • Running water systems of other big cities in U.S. do not have the Type E colon bacillus problem that haunts the running water system of NYC. In U.S. there are over 350 running water systems that can serve more than 100,000 people respectively. Among them, there have been only 13 systems violating the Federal Regulation on prevention of Type E colon bacillus since 1992, while the number of violations of NYC amounts to 40 percent of the total.
  • According to NYDN, a findings report written by a special investigation group, which is to be published soon, reveals that the method of inspecting the above colon bacillus used in NYC is less effective and poorer than those used in other cities. The government of NYC has admitted that some water samples that might be polluted and should have been inspected were discarded intentionally without any inspection.
  • Since 1989 chlorine content in the running water in NYC has been getting higher and higher, therefore, a chemical by-product, fluoroform, has increased by nearly 50% in the water. Fluoroform is the product of the reaction of chlorine with organic substances in the water, and, according to researchers, has some bearing on rectal cancer, gallbladder cancer, and fetal malformation.
  • In the upstate water source area, north Westchester County and Putnam County, the increase of buildings should be banned, but nowadays buildings are springing up like mushrooms in part because some estate developers provided a lot money to help Pataki run for the governorship.
  • The federal government has permitted seven big cities to supply unfiltered running water. Among those cities, NYC is the only city where a large amount of treated effluent is allowed to discharge into rivers, and also the only city where large-scale house building is allowed near the reservoirs in the suburbs.
  • In order to avoid building a costly water filtration plant, NYC rejected a method that many specialists in public health believed to be the best one. It was a method for guarding against a kind of parasite that can cause some disease that often hastens the death of AIDS patients. Among the cities in U.S., NYC has the largest number of AIDS patients.
