Buckeye Lake launching municipal water system

Little white flags flutter in front of the cottages to show where the new waterlines will go.

Worley's neighbor, Sheri Schumacher, said her well and water softener work just fine. She's concerned about the chlorine and fluoride that will come with municipal water.
"I just feel I'm being forced to do it," she said.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has found unhealthy arsenic levels in small private water systems -- mostly belonging to businesses -- that it regulates in the village, said Scot W. Foltz, an environmental manager for the Ohio EPA's Division of Drinking and Ground Water.

So Ms. Schumacher would rather have arsenic tainted water than germ free H2O that helps your teeth? I don't think you're REQUIRED to tap into the system but it seems like a no-brainer to me.

I lived at the Lake for 15 years and moved just 2 years ago. My water was so bad it would dye my hair red!! You would take a shower and it would smell like rotten eggs. I don't care how much salt you put in your softener. The water was just awful! I think its wonderful they are finally getting water in there. It will improve the quality of life for the residents. I'm so happy for them, and will always be proud I grew up there. Thank God for Mayor Foster and his vision of what the Lake could be.
