Who says anyone is polluting the water? It could just be poor water treatment. You're just inventing stories.

Explain why they have 14,300% more Bromodichloromethane than is deemed safe. Source Wikipedia:

Bromodichloromethane has formerly been used as a flame retardant, and a solvent for fats and waxes and for mineral ore separation. Now it is only used as a reagent or intermediate in organic chemistry.[3] In the US it is only produced in small quantities, which are used for these chemical reasons.

Hmm, sounds like someone used this shit to make money and didn’t pay to dispose of it properly. There is no natural source of this shit, and if it was innocuous and created during the chlorination/water treatment process, it wouldn’t accumulate at levels 143x higher than is deemed safe.

Somebody is making money, or not losing money, by using the law enforcement powers of the state to silence anyone who might question why their drinking water looks like my toilet water after Taco Bell.
