They are allowing people to be killed and they don`t care!

Truly unbelievable and shameful, I warned many NYC DOH and NYC DOB senior officials and NYC EPA Region staff about the dangers of their seriously lacking building water system regulations & standards, which were mostly ignored. I did get a response from NYC DOH General Council basically saying they do not care ..... and Mr. Thomas Merrill of NYC Health mentions “The rules were not designed to be overly restrictive”
This was back in early 2014, long before there 2015 massacre, which they blamed on cooling towers while desperately trying to conceal that these building`s drinking water was also the cause and contamination (even got a doctor fired for testing the water).
It is now August 2017 and still, nothing has been done to rectify, they really don`t care how many actually die!
Patricia Rouse if you read this contact me, I have plenty to share with you, whilst NYC DOH is also ignoring you.

7 年EPA doesn't really care too... https://www.nrdc.org/media/2017/170629-1 The coalition of organizations issued a 60-day Notice of Intent to Sue to the EPA on April 27, 2017. That legal filing can be found here. EPA did not respond to that letter. “EPA’s failure to act has left us no option but to file this lawsuit if New York City waters are to meet basic health standards,” “EPA has already informed New York that its standards are out of date and not scientifically defensible, yet it has not yet required New York to adopt appropriate standards or promulgated those standards itself, as the Clean Water Act requires,” said Todd Ommen of the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic. “It’s the EPA’s job to protect people and ensure we all have access to water that won’t make us sick when we drink or play in it,” said Larry Levine, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council’s water program.
