"The policy director for Riverkeeper, an environmental organization that advocates for protecting the city's drinking water, Lisa Rainwater, said that with more people using increasing amounts of pharmaceuticals, the issue is likely to become one of the country's most important environmental concerns moving forward."

Wow, they don't waste any time pointing their fingers at everyone else. This excuse makes no sense. Most pharmecuticals are consumed or thrown away or flushed. NY doesn't have trash or turds floating in its water supply, so how could the people's pills be responsible for this?

A better explanation would be that the water works have been proactively adding drugs to New Yorks water supply. I an attempt to keep the populace subdued maybe?
