If you dont want city water in the acreage make sure you go to this meeting!!!!!!!! Sept. 2nd at Seminole Ridge High School, 6:30-9. I know I dont want city water, nor do I want the huge bill that will be attached to it. I shouldn't have to pay for something due to some scared people wanting to put the blame of their cancer on the water with out having any proof!

I live in front of Zaida's acreage home and have children her sons age and a two year old grandchild Iam very concern would like to see results for all test being conducted residual DDT from orange groves if they had it used in years back. Pratt Whitney chemicals, Airborne contamination. I hope the fl. health dept and WPTV keeps the residents posted as to this very serious heath concern. (love canal) was very real and the ridents were kept in the dark.

I have lived in PBCounty since 1968, first in Belle Glade, then South Bay, and now Palm Beach Gardens. I had transphenoidal surgery for a growth hormone secreting macroadenoma (pituitary tumor) four years ago. I wonder not only about the water quality, but also aerial spraying of both pesticides & fertilizers......

We also live in the Acreage and last May my very healthy husband was diagnosed with Seminoma (testicular cancer) that spread to his lymphnodes, he never smoke, didn't do drugs & didn't abuse alcohol, and went from never missing work to having to take 4 1/2 months off for cancer treatments to save his life. I thank god he is cancer free at this time, but what about my kids? Are they safe? Is he safe? We have a neighbor that has cancer Multiple Myeloma and she developed that since moving here. What is happening?

My husband also has been diagnosed with cancer, we too live in the Acreage. He had Seminoma (testicular cancer) He went from a very healthy 46 year old man to having cancer, never smoking, doesn't abuse alcohol or drugs, never missed a day of work until this happened. He's cancer free at this moment, but what about my kids that are here? Are they safe?

I had been suspicious of both my husband and I sudden ill ness since we moved to the acreage 4 years ago. 1 year ago he was diagnosed incidently with multiple brain cluster when he went to the ER for severe migraines. Then, 4 month later I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We were healthy couple until we moved to the acreage.

My wife came down with cancer a few years ago. Almost 20 years now behind Seminole Ridge HS.

we have lived in the acreage for 27 years. My husband had AML cancer five years ago. Two years ago, he had to have a bone marrow transplant. He was a perfectly healthy man when we were hit right between the eyes with this cancer. We live on Sunset near Coconut. Now we wonder if there is something more to this cancer.....
