[Highland Park] some good PG articles
by C.Heather Kropf 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hey neighbors,I'm sure most of you have been following the Post-Gazette's excellent coverage of our environment over the past few months. This week there are some great articles in the PG about water quality in the city, as well as an interesting new article about the Advisory Board that will monitor the cleanliness of that water as it relates to the natural gas industry. If PWSA is purifying our water with chloramine (I don't know if they are or not), then you might want to do some additional research to see if your home water supply is satisfactory. My doc has advised me to do this and make this high importance.water: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11072/1131660-113.stm state advisory board: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11072/1131660-113.stm Good health to you all!Heatherwww.heatherkropf.com "Do not fear mistakes...there are none." - Miles Davis
