Agreed. However, it is not reason to cause panic or unnecessary worry about. 
ESPECIALLY when we have already been told by official sources that the water 
table is normal in the area where Pennsic is held. 

If you don't want to drink the water, fine. But posting sensationalist 
information is not the way to go, IMO. I know you mean well but there is no 
official reason to be extra cautious at this time. Granted, it could change 
but you can get killed driving to work everyday also. Disease is not the 
issue. Heat is the issue, dehydration specifically. If information is needed 
then information on avoiding heat prostration and dehydration would seem to 
be more useful and timely rather than causing worry over nonexistent problems.
