Nice to meet you Ben. Two more pieces of information to add. I moved to Annapolis in June after 30 years of urban life. I have been sick since then and have lost 401bs and spent 20 days at Hopkins. Hopkins has been connecting the mystery illness to foreign travel. The other day we realized there was a lot o f "stuff' in the water softener system I had installed and more alarmingly in the ice. The house sits on the South River and the well is no more than 75 feet from the river. How can I find out with 100% certainty what's in the water? Lastly, I believe my house sits 100 yards from water line going to brand new houses. Is it possible to be connected to county water? Thanks so much, Ex. 6 Sent from my iPhone Ex. 6 On Feb 20, 2018, at 9:10 AM, Forsgren, Lee <Forsgren.Lee@epa.a;ov> wrote: Ben, A friend reached out to me asking how she could determine if the lovely things discovered in her drinking water filter below are an indication that her drinking water is not safe. She is looking to have her water tested for contaminants but wants to know who might be appropriate organization to conduct such a test. Sierra Club v.

The person with the question's name is Ex. 6 I have added her on the cc line so that you or the appropriate person can reach out to her on an approved way to have her water tested. If you could have MDEC reach out to Robin I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Lee D.
