We re-elected the mayor, now it is time for him to do something for us.
Enumclaw’s tap water is in compliance with federal health-based standards for drinking water, but is that good enough for the citizens of Enumclaw? The federal standards are outdated, and legal doesn’t necessarily mean safe. There are eight contaminants in Enumclaw’s water that exceed the Environmental Working Group’s health guidelines.
Could you in good conscience give your family members such water to drink? And what about those babies? We pay enough taxes to provide for pure drinking water, don’t you think?
My source for these shameful statistics is the tapwater database on https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/.
We re-elected the mayor, now it is time for him to do something for us.
