READER COMMENT ON PINE WATER

As a resident of Pine, AZ, I feel appalled that TITLE 18 Arizona
Administrative Code CHAPTER 4 SUBPART Q – PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF
DRINKING WATER VIOLATIONS § 141.201 General public notification
requirements would allow for people drinking "contaminated" (or thought
to be contaminated on June 19, 2012) with only public notification of
written postings in the US POST OFFICE and on the Water Company building
in Pine, AZ.
NEITHER of these methods comes anywhere near effective for
notifying people in the rural communities of Pine and Strawberry, AZ
(included Strawberry initially). The Post Office is virtually vacant in
the late afternoon and if the people were unaware of the water
situation, why would they even go looking for notices anywhere? This
regulation is so vague as many government regulations - open to
interpretation and loopholes to protect the governing agencies and NOT
protecting the people.
