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.
