You have language like this in almost every post you've made in this thread. We get it...you're clearly smarter than the rest of us, and know far more about nearly everything. Watch out for nose-bleeds up there where you reside.
But, since you opened the door on Flint River, let me set the record straight. It is indeed the absolute failure of local and state (and perhaps federal) governments. There is this little thing called "water analysis", that if properly performed, would have prevented the entire debacle. The water quality in the river isn't the problem unless you don't treat it. Since this thread is about Florida, let's be reminded that a large portion of Floridians drink water from GOM and Atlantic Oceans. They drink water from the Caloosahatchee and other Okeechobee runoff sources. They drink ground water that's been compromised by seawater. When they get done with the treatment process for wastewater, some people pump it deep down into the aquifer. But, the answer is treatment. Even in Flint, its well known that the treatment and analysis process broke down and was ineffective.
With the technology available these days for water treatment, it was less to do with where the water comes from than it does with how you treat it.
