NEW YORKERS ASSAIL AND REJECT UNITED WATER AND SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT WATER CONTAMINATION

DSNewswire/Rockland County, New York: 

New Yorkers are outraged at recidivist misappropriation and contamination of their water supply by Paris-based multi-national conglomerate Suez Environnement S.A. (Euronext:SEV) (NASDAQ:SZEVY) through its cluster of United Water subsidiaries. In a show of forceful résistance, environmental advocates and local citizens alike have banded together as "Dump Suez, LLC", declaring an end to the ill-conceived US$189 million+ United Water/Suez Environnement plan to source customer drinking-water from the filthy and quelquefois-radioactive Hudson River. Reports indicate that United Water already wasted US$50 million on the publicly-loathed "Desal" project, at what is, prior to contested rate-increase proceedings, presumably at Suez Environnement shareholder expense:

Said John J. Tormey III, Attorney and Spokesman for grassroots group "Dump Suez, LLC":

"Dump Suez, LLC has this personal message for Monsieur Gérard Mestrallet, Chairman and CEO of Suez Environnement. In two evenings of public hearings before our New York State Public Service Commission on October 1 and 2, 2013, testimony revealed that your Suez Environnement, through its United Water subsidiaries: (A) seriously and repeatedly jeopardized the health of many of its 270,000 customers in Rockland County, NY and environs with toxic substances such as poisonous arsenic and copper sulfate pesticide, (B) absconded with overcharges, and (C) spoliated Rockland's public asset of water to the pecuniary advantage of your companies, M. Mestrallet, while violating fiduciary duty to rate-payers. Your Suez Environnement and United Water now threaten to force families to drink radioactively-contaminated water containing Tritium and Strontium-90 directly and immediately downstream a few thousand feet from the Indian Point Nuclear Power Facility, as part of a malicious 'desalination' or 'desalinization' money-grab known as the 'Haverstraw Water Supply Project', by contriving a pretextual 'need' for an additional drinking water supply that never even existed. You are about to find out just how unacceptable that is, Monsieur Mestrallet".

United Water's civil and criminal history includes revelations in 2002 of the water company poisoning Toms River, New Jersey children with acrylonitrile and other mutagenic chemicals causing many fatal cancers and then paying affected families US$12 million+ to keep mum about it; two criminal indictments in 2006 of United Water managers who hid radioactive radium in falsified water tests; and United Water's more recent mishandling of Rockland County's drinking water supply allowing it to be overtaken by arsenic, copper sulfate pesticide, and hazardous turbidity at various times in recent years:
