why toxic cleanup funding is still needed

Barbara Walter was nervous about drinking water she could ignite with her cigarette lighter.

In her own little science experiment, she'd fill a Tupperware bowl with water from the kitchen tap, seal it and allow the cloudy water to clear.

Then she would slowly lift the lid from the bowl while holding the flame of the lighter near the opening.

``Poof!''

The whoosh of flame meeting gas was startling.

Yet this was the water health officials said was safe for her, her husband and their sons to drink.
