In response to the East Hampton Press, Jan 25, lead story “EPA Chides Town about Waste”

Dear Editor,

Your Jan 25 lead story “EPA Chides Town about Waste” notes how the EPA is alerting us that new large cesspools that our town permits to be built, particularly in Montauk, are in violation of the 2005 Safe Water Drinking Act.    There is a silver lining: thanks to Trump administration’s intended evisceration of the EPA, we won’t have anyone to tell us we are drinking our own effluent — unless of course we keep our heads in the sand, and we get a wiff.
