" " I would also like for the state representatives such as Miss Cockerham, or even our board of supervisors to consider the feasibility of a groundwater treatment facility that would flouridate and chlorinate water while still in the aquifer so that persons who use wells in rural areas would have better quality water to drink."WHAT?...are you delusional sir?...why in the world would you put the poisious by product of aluminum manfacture and a carcinogen in our pure groundwater?....Chlorine causes chloro-acne and people spend thousands to filter it out of our homes and that flouride you mention was used by Nazis to dumb down and control their conecntration camp inmates....the adding of it to Americas wayer supply is a travesty in itself and you want to contaminate our groundwater too?...what is you backgroudn that you advocate such a crime?....that groudnwater is just fine without Governments adding to it.....the heavy metals you mention are not affected by chloronation I assure you.... "

" I think Mr. Homea is on to something there....pine trees and alcohol really is a southwest Mississippi kind of industry. What a brilliant comment. "

This is of major concern to senior citizens and families with children under the age of ten. The abundance of federal money in the form of grants should not be overlooked. The facility could be located in Pike County and residents in other counties who obtain water from the underground rivers that originate under Pike County could be assessed a fee to recoup the construction costs. The Bogue Chitto river supplies several underground lakes and rivers that could be treated to generate revenue and improve the physical and mental health of those that utilize the water. The contamination of water by heavy metals such as mercury and ferrous iron that is untreated by chlorine is a serious health concern and believed by sceintists to cause bi-polar disorder and childhood diseases such as rubella and sickle cell anemia. As technology and modern medicine progresses it will likely be possible to use individually coded markers to expand the suitability of certain water microtransuvients to monitor the individual needs of low income persons who aren't immunized as infants. These ideas will likely be overlooked by our legislature until other states benefit from the notion that the citizens deserve to be served by the government and not the government served by the citizens. But I do hope they will consider the possibilities. Already I have read that some countries of the European Union have began licensing such facilities for use in the sub-Saharan desert where water is often polluted. Sadly, money is the reason that more of such public improvement projects aren't implemented in the United States. The public works projects proposed by President Obama would be ideal to fund something of this nature that would benefit Mississippi. "
