Chemical levels in West Virginia water drop, but still no end in sight to ban
(CNN) -- The level of odorous chemical in West Virginians' water dropped Friday, but not enough for authorities to lift a warning to avoid drinking, cooking or bathing with it or to give a clear idea as to when things will change.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin
described the situation in nine counties Friday night as "pretty bad,"
both for residents being told the only thing they should do with their
running water is flush their toilets and schools, restaurants, hotels
and other businesses forced to close.
One bit of good news is
tests on the affected water supply, which are being conducted on an
hourly basis, show "the chemical level is declining."
"But we're just not sure
exactly how long it's going to take before it's acceptable to lift the
do-not-drink ban," the governor told CNN.
Much of the anger centers
around the coal-industry company from which the chemical leak occurred.
And there's also frustration among some -- including Danny Jones, the
mayor of West Virginia's most populated city and capital, Charleston --
that the water company trying to deal with the resulting mess still
doesn't have a timeline for when things will return to normal.
"It's caused us more
problems than you could ever imagine," Jones said Friday night, pointing
out people can't do things like wash their hands after going to
bathroom or wash their clothes.
"... It's a prison from which we would like to be released."
Utility official on water: 'I can't say it is safe'
The crisis began Thursday, when residents of Kanawha County reported a foul odor -- similar to licorice -- in the air.
The Kanawha County Fire
Department and the state Department of Environmental Protection that day
traced that smell to a leak from a 35,000-gallon storage tank along the
Elk River.
The chemical had
overflowed a containment area around the tank run by Freedom Industries,
then migrated over land and through the soil into the river. The leak
happened about a mile upriver from the impacted West Virginia American
Water Co. plant.
After concluding the tap
water was contaminated late Thursday afternoon, a stop-use warning went
out to customers in Boone, Cabell, Clay, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln,
Logan, Putnam and Roane counties.
West Virginia American
Water's president Jeff McIntyre said Friday he didn't believe the
substance -- 4-methylcyclohexane methanol -- was still flowing. But that
doesn't mean the situation will be resolved soon.
"It is not intended to
be in the water (or) distribution system," McIntyre said. "... Once it's
in there, there's no more treatment for it."
While there haven't been reported widespread sicknesses, the ordeal is having a big impact.
Kanawha County
Commission president Kent Carper told reporters Friday more than 300,000
people have been affected. Tomblin gave a lower estimate -- saying it
was "way over 100,000 (but) we don't have an exact number yet of peoplehttp://www.cnn.com/2014/01/09/us/west-virginia-contaminated-water/
