Florida Woman, Meet the Florida Bureaucracy: For years, residents of Delray Beach, Fla., complained to the city about their discolored, foul-smelling tap water. Some claimed it made them ill. In 2017, the city hired a new water inspector with decades of experience; Christine Ferrigan “identified faults in the municipal system that were allowing reclaimed sewer water to cross-contaminate the city’s drinking water supply,” says a report by federal investigators.
