Did anyone sue the Corps or whoever was responsible for it? I lived in West View Shores all my youth and when we had Lester Water Conditoner system in there the man that had served it for us said that we had the worst water he had seen in Cecil County.

…We couldnt even wash our clothes in the water because the iron level was so bad. After I showered, it turned white clothes that I wear a rusty color where my hair would lay. I don’t even think showering with our water really got us clean because it was that bad. If anyone has any information about the outcome can you please let me know and thanks.

CECIL TIMES REPLIES: Natasha, no local residents sued the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps denied there was any problem for decades, and a small community has no clout against the federal government and would have bankrupted themselves on legal fees. It was only when an independent agency, the US Geological Survey, issued a report in January, 2014 that the Corps was found responsible. And the only reason the Corps is doing anything to clean it up is because they want to dump even more polluted dredge spoils there and the state is forcing them to act to get a permit to dump.

But yours could be questioned if you’re speculating you’ve been blocked because you think she’s afraid or hiding something.

The point I’m trying to make is that if you want to be taken seriously, Facebook is not the place to conduct your communication.

Those comments I said were made after I was blocked from her page. Your sarcasm is off the mark. Your comprehension skills need to be worked on.
