A worrisome situation was revealed in the wake of the Flint, MI water crisis, which showed that 33 cities in 17 different states used 'cheats' when testing water, thereby hiding dangerous levels of lead in drinking water. One of these states was Georgia, and this prompted Mr. Rooter of Southeast Georgia, a plumbing services provider in Douglas, GA, to address residents' concerns and explain that their water testing methods are safe and appropriate, just like all of the services they provide with regards to plumbing in Douglas, Georgia.
Buddy Carver from Mr. Rooter of Southeast Georgia says: "We were shocked to read the report that 21 different cities used the same methods of testing water as the three federal employees in Flint. Criminal charges have been made against them because of their involvement in what can only be described as the worst public health disaster to have ever happened in this country. We want to show the public that our water testing procedures are completely safe and accurate."
The Flint water crisis is an extreme example that demonstrates how cutting corners and saving costs can have devastating effects. The polluted river was not tested properly and environmental officials responded too slowly to the health emergency. The Douglas, Georgia plumbers want to make sure that they are focusing on using the right procedures at all times, so that a Flint disaster can never be repeated. In doing so, they set themselves apart from places such as Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee, where the wrong testing practices have all been used.
"A class action lawsuit has recently been filed against Philadelphia, in which it is alleged that the testing procedures used by the water department are able to temporarily conceal high levels of lead," adds Buddy Carver. "The recent report has also revealed a number of highly unsafe water testing practices that are common across the nation. We always check plumbing for signs of lead presence, and we always follow the right procedures if we suspect the water is in any way contaminated. We are committed to properly serving our community, after all."
Those requiring the services of a plumbing company in Douglas, GA, are encouraged to contact Mr. Rooter at the company website.
