Letters: Gloucester City Resident Says Water Problem is Back

Well today my husband just used the water to tap off the fish pond and again we lost six of our fish. He had to go rush to the fish store and get some kind of charcoal which depletes the toxins in the water. Now he said he will do what he had done before and that was use a big trash can full of water, (which of course he did before and then was told he could not keep the water in a trashcan because it caused mosquitoes) which he said the toxins evaporate after a day so he can put the water in our fish pond. I am going to call Trenton tomorrow and find out what I can do to complain again since the Gloucester City Water turned down my paper work on getting some kind of monies back from the fish I lost last year. They don’t seem to care and I am not going to try and again argue with those idiots. I am going to see if I can talk with someone in Trenton. NJDEP and see if they can solve this.

It’s been a year since our other fish died and we have had fish since then. He has used GC water and now all of a sudden its happening again. And they claim it ok for human consumption. I disagree. We actually have been drinking bottled water as well and I do notice the taste is different. I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know.
