Ladies and Gentlemen: DANGER LURKS IN ALL FAUCETS, SHOWERS,FACILITIES, SHIPS, SUBS AND VEHICLES OR AIRCRAFT WORLDWIDE !!!!

Once upon a time a house is built in any State requiring building permits. The

residence is completed and a Bacteria Trace or BACT test involves placing chlorinein the water lines, pressurizing same to X pounds per square inch, then having atest done with results from County or City building departments issuing aCERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. Well water in Hillsborough County, Florida isperhaps tested for E-COLI annually by home owners who pay a fee then deliver thesample to the State Lab near USF for a water test. NOTHING ELSE IS TESTED FORSO PESTICIDES, BACTERIA, FUNGI, CHEMICALS, TRACE MATERIALS, DRUGLEVELS remain hidden until people start DYING then the source is tested and stepstaken to seal or cap wells while bottled water or County/City mains are brought into

the area if only well water was available ! People may never move in or start usinganything with a CO for months or years.

Take a GALLON JUG, fill it with any water, TAP OR WELL, wait several weeks andsee what grows ? Multiply that bacteria or fungi growth by one year SITTINGSTAGNANT IN LINES OR ON AN AERATOR WITH AN AIR GAP BETWEEN WATER

AND EXTERIOR then you might get the picture of what is inside your own lines,storage tanks, well tanks, piping and especially on the AERATORS once you movein and unsuspectingly feel the home or other items purchased, used or rented, issafe to use IMMEDIATELY. It is not safe nor will it be safe until things are done.Keep in mind there are no EXISTING RULES, CODES OR ORDIANCES YET toindicate what MUST BE DONE to make that facility, item or home safe for humansyet we trust Government and facilities to protect us at any cost when in fact theyIGNORE the obvious ! I thank a deceased GENIUS doctor Mason Trupp from TampaGeneral Hospital who proved what is in those AERATORS and lines with a PETRIDISH test of the contents of surgical AERATORS. The Hillsborough County HospitalAuthority and NASA lost a great genius medical professional when Dr. Trupppassed away !

Now comes the neat DANGEROUS section. Builder has the home sitting perhaps asa Model or VACANT for months and perhaps years, much like a foreclosed homeUNDER FEMA OR A BANK sits for months or years, with no chlorine in any waterlines, washing any AERATOR or shower head thus unbelievable bacteria and fungiform on surfaces and especially in the AERATOR or SHOWER HEAD without theNEW purchaser being advised of the dangers. Such borders on CRIMINALNEGLIGENCE as the water may be responsible for many illnesses and even deathsof those who occupy the foreclosed homes or FEMA TRAILERS which are neverproperly decontaminated with FUNGI OR BACTERIA in A/C Ducts, ON SURFACES,IN THE WATER LINES, AERATORS, hot water heaters or other interior or exterior

surfaces let alone contents people use. Much like the FLOODED HOMES/VEHICLES.Along comes Mr. & Mrs. X with three children and an infant to buy the home/vehicle,rent a room, place child in day care or even purchase or be issued a residencecalled a trailer and move in. Sadly no BACT test is completed nor are theAERATORS or SHOWER HEAD properly decontaminated so the family uses thewater thinking the WELL, TAP or City if not County water is safe when in fact theopposite is true for the basic reason NO NEW BACT TEST is conducted, noAERATOR cleaned and decontaminated, no Shower head cleaned anddecontaminated plus bacteria or fungi grow rampant and are not removed from AirConditioning Duct Work let alone surfaces elsewhere.

A solution DILUTED SPECIFICALLY WITH DISTILLED WATER OF 35% FOOD GRADEHYDROGEN PEROXIDE can be sprayed on any surface or object if not having theobject placed in solution to decontaminate and kill all FUNGI AND BACTERIA.Internal Piping should perhaps be cleaned with a specific amount of CHLORINEbefore allowing anyone to live in same. Believe Alamosa Colorado flushed theirmiles and miles of water lines with 25 PPM Chlorine for days until it killedSalmonella because of the well water and reservoir water contaminating the drinkingwater. IMAGINE those on vacation who could not properly clean their water lines,could take no baths and had to drink bottled water to survive or MOVED to stay

away until the ALL CLEAR WAS SOUNDED. Those homes vacant were not properlyflushed nor treated. Wonder WHY ? Believe the Governor of Colorado forbid usingthe Weber Reservoir for additional water supplies because of theCRYPTOSPORIDIUM contaminating water which is 240,000 times resistant toChlorine than Salmonella. My PERSONAL SOLUTION was drinking and cookingONLY WITH DISTILLED WATER ! No tap, well or bottled water ! But this requires

a good multi vitamin with mineral taken daily to replace some of the minerals andvitamins in the TAP OR BOTTLED WATER OR WELL WATER ---- Well water is a realkiller as one has no idea how to remove what is in it nor can they afford to have itproperly checked by a LAB because of costs.

Mr. X has the residence for the past 10 years and has a plumbing specialist come into fix leaks but everyone forgets the deadly bacteria and fungi in the AERATOR oron the surface of the shower, tub, commode, sink, walls, floors and washroomareas. The ALGEA BLOOM or 'rotten egg' smell of the water should signal aproblem worthy of instant correction, especially after 5 years use the ANODE RODor sacrificial ROD inside the hot water heater perhaps is GONE so the water startsan ALGEA BLOOM which makes the rotten egg smelly water which is dangerous but

everyone overlooks same until people start getting SICK.

Once upon a time the sick person is taken to a local hospital with the very sameproblems the AERATORS are not removed, nor cleaned nor disinfected so theproblem multiplies with people catching many diseases simply lying in the hospitalwith the air conditioning ductwork not properly decontaminated plus all items usednot decontaminated and simply wiped for sleeping surfaces with a cloth of amysterious solution then bed made and another patient brought in for that room andbed. Being transported to the room on a stretcher or sitting in that publicwheelchair where any number of fungi or bacteria are present, sleeping on the bedsor surgical facilities where no one decontaminates the items while undergoing even

massive surgery where doctors and nurses do not wear the protective BOOTIES asthey bring bacteria and fungi into the operating suites on the wheels of wheelchairsor stretchers to deposit same on the floor inside the surgical suite which is notproperly decontaminated should be something addressed instantly. Ceilings havinghot water piping with FRIABLE ASBESTOS particles falling down into wounds orbeing breathed by the patient who is not wearing the cute doctor or nurse MASKSmakes me wonder what has happened to hospitals, motels, hotels, cruise ships,airlines, bus, rental vehicles, day care facilities, prisons, jails, hospitals, emergencyclinics, doctor facilities and especially public or corporation buildings let alonemilitary bases and tent cities where people worldwide turn on the faucet anticipatingthe water is free of bacteria or fungi when in fact the aerator spreads fungi andbacteria onto their hands, into their mouths at water fountains and other items.

As a professional Plumbing Contractor and State of Florida Certified BackflowAssembly Tester and Repair person who went through UF/TREEO training andcertification since about 1986 we can tell you that THE CITY AND COUNTY WATERIS DANGEROUS ENOUGH with the high levels of drugs and chemicals inside itwhich contaminate black plastic inside backflow assemblies making them slimy,smelly and white or greasy. Finding one facility owned by the County makingSEWER WATER flow back into the potable water from a treatment plant CONFIRMEDby a Chief Plumbing Inspector Carl Conte and Cross Connection Control Inspector

Robert Dicecco affecting the NORTHWEST section of Hillsborough County, Floridawas a wake up call for me and them as the director of the TREATMENT PLANT ATWATERS AVENUE AND SHELDON ROAD ordered me to leave the property declaringthe facility was EXEMPT from any backflow assembly testing OR inspections. I wasTHROWN OFF THE PROPERTY and left with the two COUNTY INSPECTORS, ONEOF WHICH INDICATED TO THE DIRECTOR THAT HE KNEW THIS TESTER AND NO

DOUBT TOMORROW ALL TV STATIONS WOULD BE ON SHELDON ROAD FILMINGTHIS ASSEMBLY WITH 80 PSI WATER FORCING THE SEWER WATER BACK INTOTHE DOMESTIC MAIN !

Over FEAR of having TV CREWS BROUGHT TO THE SITE PROTECTING THEPUBLIC IN THIS CONTAMINATION SCENARIO the assembly 3 inch or 4 inch wasremoved that very evening thus my concern confirmed and corrected. NO NEWSOR WARNINGS TO THE PUBLIC but many gallons of chemicals were later forcedinto the water lines and the BROWN V formation where the Treatment Plant violatedEPA guidelines and DUMPED SEWAGE INTO A CREEK remained until EPA took aTOUR with a State Certified Plumbing Contractor from the OUTSIDE OF THETREATMENT PLANT confirming violations as reported by this Whistleblower. State

REPORTING of dangerous BACKFLOW of contaminated water ONLY surfaces if it isthe PUBLIC doing the contaminating by a cross connection...that specific instant aswell as other CROSS CONNECTIONS on county property never get reported.

Like any STORY --- ONCE UPON A TIME YOU WERE INFORMED OF THE DANGERSINVOLVING WATER LINES PLUS STAGNANT WATER IN UNOCCUPIED HOMES ANDTRAILERS, VEHICLES, SHIPS, AIRCRAFT, SUBMARINES AND AERATORS OR HOTWATER HEATERS --- What will you personally DO with that information to protectthe PUBLIC OR YOURSELF ? ALL MILITARY FAMILIES AND PERSONNEL SHOULDPAY ATTENTION TO THIS INFORMATION AS WELL AS ALL REALTOR'S,TRAVELERS, HOMEOWNERS AND OTHERS WORLDWIDE !

If you need to see what FUNGI or BACTERIA can do please visitwww.cancerfungus.com or www.curenaturalicancro.com then see the power of foodgrade hydrogen peroxide used to decontaminate anything visitingwww.1minutecure.com IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE !
