The New York Times

Brief Summary:
Excessive amounts of cow manure are causing bacteria and chemicals to flow into the ground and contaminate tap water. This agricultural runoff polluted wells which caused parasites and bacteria to seep into drinking water resulting in stomach illnesses and severe ear infections of residents.
Short Response:
While this isn't occuring right near me, my family and I have nothing to worry about unless the illnesses could be contagious. However, it is possible that if this is occuring in that city, it could eventually occur near where I live so this problem needs to be addressed and fixed as soon as possible so the trend doesn't spread all over the country.
