Another benefit of having a pool!

I also forgot to mention that when asked if he felt it was safe for us to drink the water, our governor's reply was, "it's your decision about whether to use the water."

Isn't that comforting.

I bet he isn't drinking it.

I won't "talk politics" here, but you folks are in a h*ll of a mess and clearly it isn't getting fixed and you are not being given reliable information.
Is there enough rain and snow-melt to appreciably help?

Nearly a month later and still there are issues. Most people are still not drinking or cooking with the water, me included. Every day, you hear more and more. Several times in the past month, the information has changed. First it was 5000 gallon of the MCHM leaked, then it was 7500, then 10,000. Then they tell us that it was apparently leaking for a few days before it was noticed and reported. Then, there was some discussion of it breaking down and causing formaldehyde. A real heyday for the lawyers.

Even today, students at 5 local schools were sent home because of the tell-tale licorice smell being apparent in the water. At one school, a teacher and a student passed out from the odor from flushing. Places flush and flush and flush. They have tested and say that the water is safe but after all the shenanigans that have gone on, people are not trusting. Erin Brockovich has even gotten involved.

If you haven't seen it, google for "Jon Stewart chemical." Funny. Sad, but funny.

Unbelievable.

What a catastrophe! I'm sure there will be big lawsuits. But didn't you day the company had filed bankruptcy? If so it's not likely anyone will get much compensation.

It is a shell company that declared bankruptcy. They will need to peel back multiple onion layers to get to the money.
It is a revolting mess.

I was happy today to see your puppies on forum posts again. Welcome back Watermom. How's your water? - I know your pool is good but is the faucet still foul?
