Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."
West Virginia officials announced late Monday they were going to start lifting the water ban for communities impacted by a massive chemical spill.
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin said that a “rolling lift” of the ban would take place to avoid having the water system overtaxed by everyone returning to the system at one time. A mass return would also cause more water quality problems.
Up to 10,000 residents were allowed to use the water system Monday with an additional 25,000 on Tuesday. Officials with West Virginia American Water said it could be a few more days before all customers could return to the system.
Customers were warned that while the water may continue to have an odd odor, it is safe for use in bathing, cooking and cleaning.
Health officials say only 14 people have been admitted to hospitals because of exposure to the tainted water and none are in serious condition. In addition, the river has not seen a fish kill or animal deaths from the contamination.
GOD BLESS YOU
DEAR JIM AND LORI
EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT OF THE WATER CHEMICAL SPILL, IN WV. I KNOW ABOUT IT. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE LIFTED THE WATER BAN PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING SICK. AND SOME OF THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN OPENED UP SOME HAVE BEEN RECLOSED CAUSE THEY SAY
THAT THE CHEMICAL LEVELS ARE GOING BACK UP IN CERTAIN AREAS. THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS I WISH EACH ONE OF THEM HAD A SAYCHELLE WATER BOTTLE OR PITCHER. I WANTED TO TAKE MINE AND GIVE IT TO SOME PEOPLE BUT I ONLY HAD ONE AND HOW WOULD THAT BE FAIR? NOW THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF WATER. THIS IS HOW FAST THINGS CAN HAPPEN AND PEOPLE ARE NOT PREPARED. JUST WANTED TO COMMENT.
