For those who may be concerned with the health issue it is my understanding that some reverse osmosis purification systems will remove portions of the arsenic and of course there is always bottled water providing it doesn't contain something worse. It is possible that some of the city wells are cleaner than others and therefore some areas within the city may be served with cleaner water. City water officials will be more knowledgeable than myself on these matters. The Mammoth Times could serve the community well by interviewing these officials and publishing their views and plans with regards to this problem. It is time to have a public debate on this subject.
