Stupefying

So let's see if we got this one right:

1. The public works director has no clue as to what the regulatory requirements are for testing water when a pipe breaks - pipes made with asbestos.
2. The city of Marco Island hadn't tested/sampled water that residents consume (and more importantly the tourists) in the previous 4 years.
3. There have been water main breaks on pipes ladened with asbestos and the water was not tested?

What danger exists to the public to ingest asbestos fibers???????????????

Notice the utter disregard for public health and wellbeing - he is more concerned with semantics of the statute threatening public health than actually doing something about it.

And the apologists for the present governance and the related syndicate wonder why there is so much distrust and utter disdain for these irresponsible people.

Unbelievable.

What "potential to create an imminent and substantial danger to the public health" exists from ingesting asbestos fibers?

At this time we have not sampled since our last reporting sampling program by per regulatory reporting requirement by Fl Water in Nov 2003.
I am looking at the data we previously supplied DEP
Over the next few weeks I hope to better understand what is the regulatory mandate for asbestus sampling.
I will be in your office next Monday and will take the time to visit with you to better understand what are our regulatory obligation to sample

Mark is asking about the asbestos sampling.
