Drink it out of the tap?


The Town of Palm Beach voted last week to hire a company, HSA Engineers, to test the West Palm Beach water that it buys to ensure that it is safe. The results of this test will come back to the Town Council in December. Lake Worth will be interested in those results. Lois Frankle has authorized millions to be spent in order to improve West Palm’s water. The City takes 233 samples each week to ensure that its water is a good quality and that it tastes great for its 125,000 customers in WPB as well as the Town of Palm Beach and South Palm Beach.

In sixteen days we will have a new City Commission in Lake Worth that will revisit our Reverse Osmosis System and the present Commission’s decision to go with Palm Beach County at a cost of multi-millions of our money to the tune of $14-$15 million dollars wasted when they ended our RO System, spending $18 more million with PB County. What IS going on?

Mayor Clemens said, "I will NEVER drink West Palm Beach water." Soon we will find out if he was right.
