ISLAND FALLS ME,?USA: ?-- Not much has changed recently with the tap water in Island Falls.What has changed is federal drinking water safety guidelines.Two years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency lowered the amount of arsenic allowed in water from 50 parts per billion down to 10 parts per billion.The most recent average in Island Falls is 11.3 parts per billion.Maine Center For Disease Control officials call that "minimally over the standard" but still "quite low."About a year ago the town applied for a low interest state loan for about $60,000 to fix the problem.Island Falls now has the money and will be installing the necessary equipment next week.The equipment should remove most of the arsenic from the town?s well water.In the meantime, some people in town are using bottled water instead of the tap water for everthing from drinking to cooking.People living in Island Falls also found out last month their quarterly water bill has gone up 52% to help pay for the new equipment.One women we spoke with says her bill went up from about $60 to $90.The higher levels of arsenic are coming from two of the town?s four wells.The water department?s superintendent says he shuts those two wells down for most of the year to keep arsenic levels down.?

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the world on Thursday to put the looming crisis over water shortages at the top of the global agenda this year and take action to prevent conflicts over scarce supplies.? He reminded business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum that the conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan was touched off by drought and he said shortages of water contribute to poverty and social hardship in Somalia, Chad, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Haiti, Colombia and Kazakhstan."Too often, where we need water we find guns instead," Ban said."Population growth will make the problem worse.So will climate change.As the global economy grows, so will its thirst.Many more conflicts lie just over the horizon."

Many more conflicts lie just over the horizon."He said a recent report identified 46 countries with 2.7 billion people where climate change and water-related crises create "a high risk of violent conflict" and a further 56 countries, with 1.2 billion people "are at high risk of violent conflict."The report was by International Alert, an independent peacebuilding organization based in London.Ban told the VIP audience that he spent 2007 "banging my drum on climate change," an issue the Forum also had as one of its main themes last year.He welcomed the focus on water this year saying the session should be named: "Water is running out.""We need to adapt to this reality, just as we do to climate change," he said."There is still enough water for all of us but only so long as we can keep it clean, use it more wisely, and share it fairly."Ban said he will invite world leaders to "a critical high-level meeting" in September to focus on meeting U.N. development goals including cutting by half the number of people without access to safe drinking water by 2015 particularly in Africa.Ban?s call for global action on water got strong support from several top business executives."Water is today?s issue," said Andrew Liveris, chairman and CEO of Dow Chemical Co., the world?s second largest chemical company."It is the oil of this century, not a question."E. Neville Isdell, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Co., said "this is an issue which ranks next to climate change.However, water has got lost as part of the climate change debate."Isdell urged the world to "raise the issue of water to the level that we have managed to raise the issue of climate change."Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman and CEO of Nestle SA, the world?s biggest food and drink company, said "time is still on our side but time is running out, just like water is running out."Ban urged top business executives to join a U.N. project to help poor people gain access to clean water and he praised Coca-Cola, Dow Chemical and Nestle for their programs and their efforts to be part of the water solution.Source:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080125/ap_on_re_eu/world_forum_water_scarcity ? ARTICLE 4 ? E. coli is a bacterium commonly found in human and animal digestive tracts.(fecal matter)?Some strains can cause diarrhea, nausea and if untreated, possible death.Fresno (KFSN) -- E. coli was spotted during a routine water test last week in Woodville, a town of about 2,000 people, south of Visalia.Several factors could have led to the contamination of Woodville?s drinking water supply.This potentially harmful bacteria could have entered through cracked pipes, heavy rains could have delivered it to the town?s water source or the water wasn?t treated properly.Whatever the cause, everyone in town is carefully monitoring what they?re drinking.Residents in Woodville are loading up on bottled water. last Thursday leading to a boil advisory.One convenience store owner says he?s had to restock his shelves several times this weekend.Robbie Rodriguez says he wants to make sure his family?s safe from possible infection."This should be the last one if it?s not then I?ll come back at like midnight and fill it up for my grandma."E. coli is a bacterium commonly found in human and animal digestive tracts.Some strains can cause diarrhea, nausea and if untreated, possible death.Ralph Gutierrez, Woodville Public Utility manager, says "I immediately started emergency chlorination and I went out and I flushed the whole system."Gutierrez sent out the boil advisory to residents warning them to not to drink or wash dishes with water from the tap.E. coli presents serious health threats to children, seniors, and people with weak immune systems.The E. coli threat was a concern for Richard Wilson.Out of town family?s visiting to celebrate his kid?s 4th birthday party."Are they going to get sick?Or anything might happen to them you know.I am just kind of worried."Gutierrez says Woodville?s one of the few remaining towns in California that isn?t required by state regulations to use chlorine as a form of water treatment.So far there have been no reports of anyone getting sick.Gutierrez is waiting for test results next week to confirm drinking water is safe for residents.Until then the boil advisory will remain in effect.Source:http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=5991515 ? I could go on and on with news articles.??But, I?m sure at this point, you get the idea.Are you a person that takes responsibility for your own health and your own food and water sources????Or are you a person that still relies on our government to ensure our safety???http://www.ionways.com/aj ? ?
