Dangerous toxin in Ohio drinking water supply

Maybe Ohio Government should dump 1 million gallons of coca cola into Lake Erie. Coca Cola will take care of everything, and then Ohioians can drink water again few days later.
 
Toledo sucks anyways. I was laid up in Toledo hospital 2 weeks and my exwife hated that city. hmm I think I've still got my Ohio car tags somewhere :hmm:

It tells you in the article. It is a byproduct of algae bloom . Weather conditions have been favorable for that.

It is a naturally occurring phenomenon .

The frog pond in my city is loaded with algae bloom and this is why the city spend $5,000 to put signs up warning people the water "may pose a risk to kids and pets and to stay ashore" I just saw a mother let her small boy put his hand right into the water and you know how small kids are always putting their hands in their mouth . BLEH ! I was surprise the signs did not say the 'water is risk to kids and pets ' b/c there are snapping turtles in the pond too they might think a small finger is a 'meal' . I almost lost a toe this way as a little girl.
 
Yeah, as the owner of a hunting dog we're made aware of algae blooms every single summer. They are surprisingly toxic, you wouldn't think it could happen that way. It's like that amoeba that people sometimes get up their noses and into their brains that kills. People are shocked that it happens. For the record, that amoeba is found in warm bodies of fresh water, which means in summer it's found in ponds and lakes and hot springs year round, even in mud puddles and aquariums. Heck, that stuff is even found in soil and household dust. If you have well water and live where it's warm (the south, pretty much) don't use a neti pot.

I guess people are starting to smell bad if they can't take shower. It would be very costly to use bottled water to take sponge bath.

Not just that, but they're also driving a long way to find water, too. It's a bad situation down there. Chicago tested the waters here, and there's no toxins present here.

A few years ago a water pipe broke in a town 25 miles from where I live and people where driving to my city looking for water to buy. People take for granted that they'll always have water . I try to stock up on bottled water

Hmm. Same thing happened here not long ago. The city spent all night making repairs. We had no drinking water until late the next morning. I should stock up, just in case.

A lot of the water pipes are very old , it's horrible they're not being replace before they bust open and waste a lot of water and flood out people homes and cars etc.

Yeah, I know. That, and replacing them isn't cheap, either. The newer pipes cost a lot more today than they did back then.
 
When water run out and only available to purchase at food store is water bottles.

Best tips: You won't have trouble to find gallon of water... in BABY section!
