Gov. Carl Gutierrez and the senators of the 26th Guam Legislature have expressed near disinterest in the health and safety of the thousands of residents of these villages by their relative silence. These watchdogs have teeth. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency can issue administrative orders, take legal action or fine utilities for violating national drinking water standards. Yet nothing has been done. Our governor, senators, the local and federal EPA and Guam Waterworks Authority have done little more than offer excuses for the past 36 days and the water remains unfit to drink.
Laws exist to enforce our rights to safe drinking water.
It's high time they're enforced and those responsible for this horrid situation be held accountable. All rights reserved.
