[quote]Jennifer Hall-Massey knows not to drink the tap water in her home near Charleston, W.Va.
In fact, her entire family tries to avoid any contact with the water. Her youngest son has scabs on his arms, legs and chest where the bathwater — polluted with lead, nickel and other heavy metals — caused painful rashes. Many of his brother’s teeth were capped to replace enamel that was eaten away.
Neighbors apply special lotions after showering because their skin burns. Tests show that their tap water contains arsenic, barium, lead, manganese and other chemicals at concentrations federal regulators say could contribute to cancer and damage the kidneys and nervous system.

There are multiple mountain top removal sites "17miles from Charleston", so this woman could live anywhere in that radius. Mrs. Hall-Massey doesn't have a well, she's got "city-water". She's not trailer-trash redneck, she's White-collar worker in a Bank.
But she and her family are being slowly poisoned by what's in her TapWater, and the Government does nothing.
