During a recent government meeting, officials expressed deep concerns regarding the city’s handling of water safety issues, particularly in relation to the Eagle project. A committee member criticized the city’s communication practices, labeling the current culture as \"disgusting\" and \"disgraceful.\" The member highlighted that the city had failed to inform residents about potential water contamination, despite having access to critical testing data for over three years.

The discussion centered on the need for transparency and proactive communication with the community. One member recounted a personal experience, emphasizing that had the city been forthcoming about water safety, he could have warned a friend living near a contaminated site. The urgency of the situation was underscored by the mention of a resident on 8th Street, whose home is situated in an industrial area, raising concerns about water quality and safety.

The committee acknowledged some progress in their efforts but reiterated the importance of trust and open dialogue between the city and its residents. They called for immediate action to address the ongoing water safety concerns and to ensure that residents are informed about the risks associated with their water supply. The meeting concluded with a commitment to follow up on specific cases and to improve communication strategies moving forward.
