Heads don't have to roll. But water taste problems must be fixed

Adair Countians have a right to be angry that this decade old, recurrent problem hasn't been fixed. They could demand heads to roll and resignations. But that Vicky Pike is asking for something different. She just wants the present management and board to fix the problem. And never let it happen again. Campbellsville and Cincinnati water systems have solved algal bloom taste problems. She says the local water district can, too.
Comments re article 85343 Anonymous source says drinking water problems nationwide

Personal Commentary

I would like to see this problem fully addressed at the next water board meeting. That would include a plan of action on how the algae problem is going to be taken care of next year.

This is a yearly problem and we need to know as customers of the water system EXACTLY how it is going to be fixed next year. Campbellsville doesn't seem to have the taste and smell issue.
So what are they doing? How is Cincinnati Water Works addressing the problem?



Where there is smoke there is fire and where there is foul smell there is usually a cause for that change in smell.

I want to know before next year rolls around that this foul undeniable water problem is taken care of.

Older folks can't carry a lot of heavy drinking water and their health may suffer from lack of clean odorless water.

I urge the board to look into this matter and give us, the citizens of Adair County, a plan before next year to fix this.

Maybe we need to take a trip to Cincinnati and see what they are doing. --Victoria Pike
