howlin's blog post - Mixed Messages during a Crisis

Thursday, January 16, 2014, 2:12:01 AM
So some of you know about the water crisis where we live today is day 7 and is it getting better? you decide I'm too confused at this point
Thursday Jan-9- 2:15pm
An emergency text comes to my phone from local news as follows- A chemical spill was discovered earlier today but poses no danger officials say

Thursday Jan-9- 5:30 (approx) All hell breaks loose all media advises DO NOT DRINK,BATHE,OR USE WATER IN ANY WAY OTHER THAN FLUSHING OF TOILETS OR FIREFIGHTING

Friday Jan-10- no water in stores to be found, all restaurants ordered closed as well as schools and any business requiring water to operate

Wednesday Jan-15- 6:15am water is restored in some areas, were advised and instructed as to proper procedure to flush water supply lines in our homes after which water consumption may be restored and used as usual and that the licorice smell which was how the spill was originally discovered was nothing to be concerned about

Later throughout the day weve been ordered to boil water before consuming
The last warning was if pregnant do not use the water

The WVDHHR made an announcement stating an all clear with no health risk was given by WV American Water Co, and NOT by local or state health agencies

Sounds to me like corporate greed with no regard to health and welfare

Wow that's very confusing Howlin. We had bad bouts of crypto spiridium in the water. Be on the safe side and boil it for a while

Have been thinking of you while watching this unfold on the news. Hard to take the news when you know someone involved. Best of luck getting this sorted
