Yes and no. Life is back to normal as far as people using water again for the most part. But, I don't think the level of trust will ever quite be the same. MCHM is still in the news around here --- new regulations, litigation issues, etc. They also reported this summer that the stuff is more toxic than they originally thought and told people. Google for MCHM and Charleston, WV and you'll still find a bunch of stuff. I guess it will be years until all the new regulations are put into place and until all litigation is settled. And, most importantly, until we know what the long-term health ramifications might be. It was a nightmare to go through, though, I'll tell you that! I'm thankful I wasn't pregnant or have small children at the time all this was playing out.
