Maybe the Dept of Health should test my catchment tank if they need proof? I just had it professionally cleaned last week and I already have snails in it again.
How can people in Puna wash their vegetables with catchment tank water and be confident that they won't have to worry about possibly contracting the disease? There must be upwards of 20,000 people using catchment in Puna because of no county or private water lines.
The snail population in lower HPP in particular is bordering on epidemic. They are everywhere. Just about every step we take in our yard produces a "crunch" sound of a snails shell being stepped on.. They are on every plant in our garden that has leaves...even crawling up the sides of our house.
