Reply #30: "raw sewage is routinely dumped upstream of intake"

Halliburton, the company once run by the vice-president, Dick Cheney, has denied the claims of its former workers, and the marine corps said that water quality records for last year showed no sign of problems. Halliburton now runs a water treatment plant at the base.

However, another former KBR employee, Ben Carter, a water expert, said he found evidence of contamination last March and immediately sent an email about the problem to his colleagues.

"It is my opinion that the water source is without question contaminated with numerous micro-organisms, including coliform bacteria," Mr Carter wrote. "There is little doubt that raw sewage is routinely dumped upstream of intake much less than the required two-mile distance."

Mr Carter said he resigned in early April after Halliburton officials failed to take any action. "They told me it was none of my concern and to keep my mouth shut," he told AP. "They brushed it under the carpet ... I told everyone: "Don't take showers, use bottled water."
