I stand by our results. Our lab is ISO-certified, federally accredited, and uses redundant multi-point testing protocols. We run blind samples daily. We don’t “guess” here. We confirm.

I’ve heard the push back. The misinformation. The blame. But the truth is: our numbers were within range—according to the parameters set by the Kirstin Springs Corporation. And yes, every test has margins of error. That’s science. But margin is not malpractice.

I read what Dr. Marc Edwards said about the Flint, Michigan water crisis—how the system failed because people refused to see what was in front of them. That’s not the case here. We submitted what we had. No manipulation. No mislabeling. If others chose to spin that data to serve an agenda—that’s on them.

So no, I don’t think this was a mistake. I think it’s optics. And spin. And a town that doesn’t understand how water treatment works.
