It must hve been one hell of dump to contaminate so many millions of gallons of water. If gas and lecky leaked like water we would have been blown to ell and back and some of the gas and leck pipe work is near as old as water mains, in some places older. Sheer incompetence in most cases. Its about time some one in power decided just how much profit these utilities need to make to operate efficiently, and then force them to stick to that, and less of the variable tariffs, its all travelling down the same wires and pipes.
