Wish they would test the 2400 low pressure ratepayer area's for contaminates, especially those who have water pumps. The RI health department has stated and are formulating rules for people who have pressure less than 20 coming in their house as they are at higher risk of contaminates into their drinking water.
Not to mention the helper pumps in the house actually sucking the water from the street pipes create an even higher risk of that since they disturb the sediments in the pipes that lays there do to low pressure, pulling that in to the house as well. This is proven by in house filter systems that last only 1/3 the time they do in a normal pressure ratepayer also with pump failures and appliances such as dishwashers that fail in 1/2 the time of their life span or sooner.
One wonder where the concern for this is? The average ratepayer obviously matter much less that franklin street apartment complex. Yet we face greater danger to our health then they did. We also pay anywhere from 2 to 3 times for our water than regular ratepayers due to the pumps and filter systems we must have that the BCWA will not fix going on over 25 years now that I have been a customer.
Funny how they say it is about money, but not about money on flanklin and popaquash, RWU area etc. These low pressure area's exist in all three towns and the BCWA and politicians could not give a damn. Not to mention 50% of fire hydrants under required pressure. Disgusting and criminal in my book.
