To: Mr.Bryan C.Adams Elk River Municipal Utility (763)44:.8094 From: AW WA (303)347.0804 01/15/041 03:40PM <br /> The current Energy Bill would grant MTBE product liability for gasoline makers retroactive to Sept. 5, <br /> invalidating more than 40 lawsuits filed on behalf of approximately 130 water systems.A recent study by <br /> the U.S. Geological Survey found MTBE contamination in 55 percent of the metropolitan water systems <br /> that were tested. Even small amounts of MTBE can make drinking water smell and taste like turpentine. <br /> To reach your senator, call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. <br /> For more information on MTBE contamination and A W WA's reasons for opposing MTBE sate harbor, <br /> please see the Q&A with AIWA Executive Director Jack Hoffbuhr at wwwawwa.org. <br /> ### <br />
