yes I just caught this post sounds real scary , may not be the same but did want to share the facts , out city is exceding the MCL for RADs =riadium they say is a natural formation in the rock formations that can and have been there for hundreds of thousands of years and it goes on to say if left undesturbed is ok , yet three of our water well out of the six are shut down on account the risk . the cause they say is blamed on urainium I have my doubts and often wonder if mabey the agricultural byproducts from acres and acres of fertilized fields of costal hay or grass rather has anything to do with the now not "potable water" or can it be the 200 thousand barrels per day of saltwater disposal wells from many different companys pumping back into the the ground that out state allows can you imagine what our great great grand children will be left with ?
What will become of the earth is all the water is poisened ? there are a minimum of 5 major injection wells in our area, this vast underwater river(aqufir) is under attack who will stop this nonsence, what will we drink, one time I ask a worker at a major company what they did with the spoils out of the wash bay grease trap , he answered that they vacume it out with a vacume truck and then they pump in into the so called salt water injection well , often referred to as "DISPOSAL WELLS "
That tells the rest of the story the Name says it all ,who really moniters what is forced in the ground under pressure and if the "Salt water Disposal wells" are supossed to be on a vacume when they get done unloading then tell me why they have to use such a great big pump and like 100 barrels per minute and up ? DOES ANY ONE HAVE AN EXPLANATION OTHER THAN THIS IS A NATUARL OCCURANCE ?
Since we are on this subject and I am getting wound up here what about this newly formed Ground Water District . Now they charge the municipalities for the water being drawn out of the ground yet they don't want to help solve the mystery of our ever so deminishing water quality .

SAFE WATER FOR ALL PEOPLE
From the desk of Don E Austin
What is a Backflow Prevention Assembly? The short answer is that a properly functioning Backflow Prevention Assembly (Backflow Assembly or Backflow device) is designed to protect you, your family, neighbours, or co-workers from drinking polluted or contaminated water.
Backflow is caused by either back pressure or back siphonage from a buildings water to the municipal water supply. This can be caused by a water main break where there is a sudden loss of municipal water pressure and water flows backwards from your home or business to the potable water supply. Another cause is when the Fire Department connects to a hydrant and causes a drastic drop of water pressure while they are pumping water out or fighting a fire. This would affect a good number of homes or businesses connected to the water main in the area near the hydrant. High pressure pumps in homes or high-rise buildings can also very easily over power the municipal water pressure and cause backflow situations if a backflow preventer was not properly working or not in place. All of these situations could cause contaminated water to come in contact or mix with potable or clean drinking water. When any of the above situations are remedied, the contaminated water that is now on the water main will be sent through to the drinking water of the unsuspecting public.
If all water that was delivered to your building was guaranteed to always be clean we wouldn't have a problem with Backflow. The problem come into play with multiple (and always growing) contaminated water situations.
Fire Sprinkler Systems in most cases are filled with water ready for a fire emergency. This water can be sitting in these pipes for months or years. This stagnant water can cause sickness, if accidentally mixed with potable water.
Boiler systems normally have chemicals mixed with the water in the boiler to prevent corrosion. This water is extremely dangerous and toxic. There have been incidents where this water has been mixed with drinking water, and also accidentally introduced into dialysis machines when patients were undergoing treatments. Sickness and fatalities have occurred.
One of the most frequent occurrences of dangerous Backflow situations happens when people mix fertilizers or pesticides and leaves the hose in the bucket. While the hose is in the bucket with the mixing chemicals backflow can happen at any time. If there is a sudden loss of water pressure, these chemical mixes will back-siphon into the municipal water distributation network through your home or business. There have been recorded incidents where entire water systems have had to be replaced. Some chemicals can not simply be flushed out. Some chemicals bond to the piping and the only way to remove the chemical for the potable water piping is to remove and replace the entire pipe system.
If you have an Irrigation System, you should have a Backflow prevention device installed. This would be a small non-testable device on you irrigation system or on the incoming water source in your home of office. If you have a fertilizer injector connected to your irrigation system, a fire-sprinkler system in your building, a commercial car wash, any location that has a boiler, a building that uses pumps to deliver water, you have, or should have a different type of Backflow Device that should be tested at least once a year. Backflow Assemblies are mechanical devices. With constant water pressure and the containments in the water they can fail over time. They should be tested at least once a year. If you are in doubt if you need a Backflow Prevention Device please call your Water Jurisdiction.
Check with your local Water Jurisdiction for current codes and By-Laws.
Some Water Districts are currently building By-Laws that will cover Backflow Devices. Even though these Water Districts don't have By-Laws in place - yet, the owner of the property is still responsible for not releasing pollutants or contaminants into the public (Actually stolen from the web site of www.MicksIrrigation.com and the ABPA.org should get the credits!

this is all about hot water and thermal expansion
)For some time, the City has been using a special valve to prevent backflow when homes are hooked up to the City's water system. The intent is to prevent any cross-contamination from a particular home to pass on its "gray water" to the City's water supply and their neighbors. While this device is helpful toward ensuring the quality of the City's water, it presents a challenge to home owners who use the tank system of heating water --- which is almost everyone. Heat expands, as we learned in grade school. Water in a water heater tank will also expand when heated. In a plumbing system with a backflow prevention valve (also known as a "closed system") there is nowhere for the water to expand to. This puts extra pressure on the piping system and the water heater, possibly reducing the life of either or both. Many people mistakenly believe that the release valve at the top or the side of the tank will open for expanding water, but this is not true. These valves are activated by elevated temperatures and not pressure. One of the solutions to this problem is a thermal expansion tank that is installed close to the water heater on the cold water (entry) line which will allow for expansion and relieve pressure from the tank itself (extending its life) and the plumbing system. If installing a new water heater you should check your warranty. Many warranties will tell the owner that the warranty will be void if the water heater is installed in a closed system without an thermal expansion tank. Do-It-Yourselfers, when obtaining their free permit from City Hall, should inquire as to whether or not their home is a "closed system" so that they can know to install their thermal expansion tank, if necessary. If your home doesn't have this will you be fined? No. Will we come looking for these? No. This is for your information so that when and if you replace your water heater you will be better informed and hopefully it will add life to your new replacement
