'Now we get two or three calls a day at best.' •. ■ DoweU said that the s-__on has frustrated many people who: have been warned not to drink the water coming out of their tape. "You sre so frastreted by knowteg you don't know whether you should lower your well or use carbon filter caps on your taps.' And who sre you going to blam*?' DoweU ssid. HOe**lV the Kingsburg grower who used DBCP ion hi*, grape vines for years before *_ng_tore_ estate, aaid that he doean't really blsme snyone and has given rrowonyteg about the problem. "It'» jt-tlflte that saccharine thing. After a whO* they (the press) will move on to something else," Howell said. "I don't plan on boiling any weter- I think it's a farce.* He added that the publicity concern- ing the DBCP traces being found te Kingsburg weds ha* not hurt Ids real r estate business one bit. "A lot of -people around here started to boy (bottled) water when it first started and now are wondering why they everdid," Howell said. Peterson, s refrigerator repairman in Kingsburg, said that he buys bottled [ water but still drinks the tainted tap j water occasicrnnlly, even though he admit* that it probably isn't good for him. "I'm not too worried about it and most of them (people te Kingsburg) don't seem too worried about ft either," Peterson said. The effect it will have on children seems to be of primary concern to most of the people involved, and DoweU said that most school districts te the two r counties went to bottled water when the I first warnings were issued and are still L using bottled water. eV "Generally the concern is with the W children and generally our response is to take care of the children," DoweU said. 'We aak them their situation and if it's a young couple or a couple with children, we suggest they go to water. If that is financially impossible we tell them to boil their drinking water or to at least let it stand uncovered overnight," DoweU added. Ron-Martin, manager of Yosemite Bottfad Waters, aaid that while Yoeemite did experience a sudden surge fa-busi¬ ness when the DBCP warnings were first made public that "lately, people > havejurtalxwtforgotabouttt.* 'People forget; they keep taking the water, but they-forget," Martin ssid. "To teU you the truth, the customers we serve don't even nwntion it (DBCP)." Martin aaid that he isn't sure what cortstitutes a- dangerous level of DBCP ' but added that he haa to agree with how -estate has handled -emtuation. "The state ia the watchdog, and some¬ body has to determine what is dangerous and what isn 't " Martin said. He quickly admitted that the DBCP problem has benefitted his company and that they have added two new. route*, - primarily serving the Kingsburg, Perlier and Fowler areas, since last November. During that crisis they weren't even asking the price. They just wanted to know when they could get it (bottled water) and they usually wanted it right away, moaning the next day," Martin said. Now that people have settled down a bit, Martin aaid that many people are calling up to check prices. He said many families wonder whether they can afford bottled water-which he thinks ia the wrong way to look at the problem. "Can they really afford not to have bottled water? Especially the families with young children,* Martin said. It's the young children coming up that shouldn't be drinking it. A doctor in Kingsburg told us (Yoeemite Water Bottling) thai young boys definitely shouldn't be drinking it because of the sterility problem." Jim Stuber, manager of Sierra Spring Water Co. of Fresno, aaid that the DBCP problem is just one mora thing that is making more and more people aware about the things that they used to take for granted—such as their water supply. "Before they didn't question and now they are starting to ask questions," Stuber said. "There are panic buyers, but not too many.* "If the cities were to guarantee that nice, clean, pure water, was going to come out of the tap, then cities like Sanger and Kingsburg would be facing all sorts of lawsuits,* Martin said. "They don't guarantee their water, they just say that you will get water when you turn on your tap." DoweU said that because the situation "is te a stage of settling out" and that there are really no answers to the prob¬ lem right now that people are just puzzled, not upset. 'Who are you going to blame?' he asked. 'Who are you going to start He pointed out that the situation is back te the. hands of the government scientists right now. 'It's at a no-answer stage right now-a real hodgo-podge. We don't know whether we should deepen wells or use carbon filters or what,* DoweU said. "It isn't a* if we have toi^otten about it.* Perhaps time wiU help solve the prob¬ lem of DBCP fa drinking water.
