[QUOTE="Kias, post: 340484, member: 9496"] The only effect this had on our family is, they didn't have any of the regular tv shows on. The news was on constantly all weekend. I do check the well water occasionally. It always turns out to be just water. I have a funny feeling this was all done so when they say it's time to raise the water price to pay for a new water plant, no one will throw a fit. The treatment plant in Toledo is 80 years old, and does need to get replaced. One town, Oregon, who gets their water from Toledo said their water was safe. (Their restaurants were packed this weekend!) They said they started noticing a rise in the toxin earlier in the week and started treating for it. The news has been showing that green water of Lake Erie constantly all weekend. I heard lots of people at work today saying they were never going to drink the water again because of all the algae. I look at 'em sideways and say, "You do know those algal blooms have been there for decades, right?" Guess not. It's funny that people think they're actually drinking the algae... There's a reason it's called a "Water Treatment Plant" and not a "We're just going to feed you water straight from the lake plant" Now they've declared an official emergency so everyone around the United States can help pay for this mess that happened this weekend. Here's some totally unrelated pork chops. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]105244._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
