A little update for you dummies... the "crisis", if it ever was one, is over. Everybody has clean water now... except for a small area down Buffalo way that has a problem with flushing the main. Us WVians are none the worse for wear. We got a little smelly from not having a shower for a few days, but that was about it. St. Albans restaurants made out like you wouldn't believe. January is the slowest month and my buddy from back in my days in the food biz told me the other day that he grossed more in 6 days than he normally does the whole month of January and February. Said his employees made big time OT and loved it.
Turns out that a water main break up the hill from the storage tank leaked water down underneath the tank and when the temps got below zero it flash froze and punctured the tank from underneath and cracked the containment dike. Basically the water company, yes the same water company that got contaminated, caused the leak!!!!!
For you ignorant dummies... that means the water company is liable if proven in court and I think it will be. Man this is gonna be fun when it hits the courts. The dumbasses that are suing are gonna find their water bill going up to cover the costs of the lawsuits!!!
Oh yeah... the company that stored the chemical just filed for bankruptcy since they were shut down by the government. Now a good number of people will be without a job. Hope you dummies are happy now.
