Dr. Brad Kay, 77 Blue Island Street, San Sebastian Springs, who has expertise in <br />environmental protection and health, said the water is desirable to him in San Sebastian Springs. <br />He stressed that residents, for health reasons, should not drink well water that they privately <br />treat. He pointed out that every household that treats its well water puts at least 500 pounds of <br />salt into the Aquifer daily. He believes it is not healthy, not good for the environment, not good <br />for the buffer preserve, and not good for consumption. He also believed that over time the <br />benefits of having County water would be significant. He thinks it is a reasonable expenditure. <br />Nannette Musumeci, 79 Blue Island Street, explained why she preferred city <br />water over well water. <br />Russell Godin, Sr., who has handled a lot of water systems, being an old retired <br />plumber, thinks people are disillusioned with their wells because they were getting water and <br />they do not have to pay for it. He felt the County needs to work out a solution with people who <br />can afford it because County water is better than well water, and it stands to reason there will be <br />a health problem sooner or later. He declared that County water is the correct and reasonable <br />thing to do. <br />Pat Tammone, 605 Cross Creek Circle, presented a note from her neighbor, <br />Shirley Watkins, expressing her desire for County water. Ms. Tammone, speaking for herself, <br />attested to the poor quality of their well water. <br />Seth McCoy, 507 Cross Creek Circle, acknowledged he signed the Petition and <br />desired to have County water. <br />Judy Sherako, 505 Cross Creek Circle, agreed with the lack of safety in the well <br />water. <br />25 <br />July 8, 2008 <br />
