Big Berkey Water Filters

A water treatment plant in Indianapolis has been dumping sewage overflow into the White River for over 40 years now.  This is a river that people swim and fish in…even though there are warning signs posted.  Pay attention to the amount of E-Coli they find from a river sample.

It makes you wonder how much of this contaminated water made it into the water supply of the downstream popuation over these 40 years.  What seeped into the well water systems?  Was it filtered out in some way?  I’d be real interested to see illness or cancer rates across this potentially affected population to look for correlations.  Environmentally speaking, this is just sad.
