Toxins Contaminate Water In Ohio, People Panic to Buy Bottled!

Big problem in parts of Ohio with the drinking water being contaminated. Even boiling does not help matters. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/08/02/toledo-ohio-water/13505697/

Saw that on news tonight. Lines around the corner trying to buy drinking water. Reminded me of the gas shortage days.

It happened in Milwaukee years ago. It can happen to water supplies anywhere.

They were saying that boiling the water makes it worse. Wonder why that is the case?
We've always been told that boiling water for 5 minutes makes it safe.

The toxins aren't affected by boiling. Boiling reduces the amount of water in the pot, thereby concentrating the toxins. Not a good situation.
