E COLI IN SYRACUSE WATER
Have you heard the news about e-coli in Syracuse water?
Syracuse water comes from Skaneateles Lake. There are numerous CAFOs in the lake’s watershed. All CAFOs are now dumping slurry in the rain, all day every day in order to empty their storage tanks before winter...now and in the spring are the heaviest slurry dumping times...when the run-off risks are highest.
Can it be the e-coli contamination is coming from CAFO slurry runoff? And, we all know, CAFO slurry generated e-coli contamination in well and surface water has been an enormous problemin Central New York.
