Is this proof from my buddy Ed Moore that last year's alleged crisis was a massive city mistake that has now mushroomed into a huge taxpayer-supported, nutty-ass boondoggle?

Public Utilities Director Ed Moore said he drinks the city’s tap water and drank it last year even during the do-not-drink advisory because he believed it was never unsafe for consumption.

More from today's Blade story:

Calling the public hypersensitive ...

That's an understatement. But maybe it should read:

"Calling the public distrustful of city government ..."

Tests showed the raw water Wednesday afternoon contained 1.0 parts per billion of microcystin. That was up from 0.5 ppb Monday and 0.4 ppb Tuesday. The test performed Thursday showed the level at 0.5 ppb, city spokesman Stacy Weber said.

The U.S. EPA in May said it is acceptable for people school-age and older to drink tap water with up to 1.6 parts per billion of microcystin in it.

People have wigged out about the level of microcystin in raw water when that same level is acceptable in our tap water.
