"They are essentially bathing in poop over there"

The Granger Report and Ben Carter's testimony to the DPC in January show the many deficiencies in KBR’s ability to provide non-potable water to the men and women serving in Iraq. Water from the Euphrates river passes through a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) that filters 99% of contaminants to become potable water. The waste water that leaves the ROWPU has approximately two times the contamination as the Euphrates River water and is supposed to be returned to the river. Instead, this remaining waste was then being loaded into trucks straight to the showers our soldiers used. The amount of contaminants Iraq water has to offer are endless.
