East Palestine Derailment Contamination Prompts Cincinnati to cut off Drinking Water Source from Ohio River
In case you missed it, the City of Cincinnati has cut off the Ohio River as a drinking water source.
It is “believed that low levels of butyl acrylate seeped into the Ohio River through a small creek about 300 miles north of Cincinnati,” which prompted the water utility service to take the precaution.
The Ohio River’s water intake for the city of Cincinnati will close ahead of incoming pollutants from the East Palestine train derailment in a move that the local water utility service says is “out of an abundance of caution.”
