High levels of radiation -- up to 60 times higher than the maximum allowed in drinking water -- have been found in Ten Mile Creek that feeds into our water treatment plant.

We would like our local Greene and Washington County commissioners and our State Representative to answer these questions!

Would you drink the water? Would you shower in this water? Would you let your children or grandchildren drink the water? Is it safe to swim in Ten Mile/Mon river? What is your plan to fix the problem? Who is going to pay to fix the problem? Will you attend a town meeting if invited? Why should residents pay for water that is polluted? What will be done to who is responsible? Should pregnant women drink the water? What should we do until the problem is fixed?

I was raised skiing on the Mon river and boating on ten mile creek since 1989. I am furious that gas drilling operations are permitted to suck water from the river and pollute our waterways with the residual waste that remains. They say they care but actions speak their intent. They simply don't care.

The money received by the taxing authorities was to be used to help correct gas exploration ills, not to pay for cost overruns for a bridge destroyed by a company. If I had damaged the bridge I would have to sell ALL of my assets. Why doesn't this company?

This area is so desperate for jobs that we have been letting things like this slide for too long. I bet if this was going on in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, or Harrisburg it would be addressed immediately.
