There is always arsenic and atrazine in water.
How many people have died or become sick? Then it can't be "that" toxic.
Settle down and take a breather.

I am just sick over this. For the past five Summers, and especially

it to be the safest water around. *******s...........


Yeah, well, they closed the pool, but they are still insisting this is
nothing
to be twisted about. Ya know why? Because they lose and stand to lose
a
lot of
revenue from this. People come from all over the world to Austin to
swim
in
Barton Springs Pool. They still somehow feel that, even though higher
levels of
toxins were found in and near spillways into the Spring, sometimes as
high
and
higher than toxic waste dumps...hmmmm, money, money, money,
money.....MONEY.

Or, politics, damage control, and liability. Toby looked a little over
defensive in the press conference. If it turns out not to be a 100+ year
old
problem, the current and recent parties to blame will have bought time to
bail out of the responsibility....
