West Virginia Declares State Of Emergency After Coal Chemical Contaminates Drinking Water
"West Virginia American Water has emphasized that once contaminated by MCHM, the water cannot be treated. As a result, schools in at least five of the counties will be closed Friday and hospitals, restaurants, nursing homes and other establishments in the area are also banned from using their water as the entire system is flushed out and testing continues. As of early Friday, Freedom Industries, “a full service producer of specialty chemicals for the mining, steel, and cement industries,” had yet to comment on the spill. "

Additionally I agree with Zoey Kay,
"I almost feel sorry for the folks in WV (almost), but the people of that state keep saying how they don't want the coal industry regulated. They better not start asking for federal dollars to clean up this mess, since they were so hell bent on making sure no regulations were put in place to prevent or handle situations like this."
