The Ohio EPA reports contaminants from derailed train cars spilled into some waterways and were toxic to fish, but claims city water is safe to drink. Ohio EPA encourages testing well water.
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — The Ohio EPA reports East Palestine city water is safe to drink. While contaminants from derailed train cars spilled into some waterways and were toxic to fish, the Ohio EPA said tests have detected no contaminants in the five wells that feed the city's water system, but they are recommending that people with private wells get their water tested. Meanwhile, the head of the EPA is headed to East Palestine tomorrow to talk to residents and visit the derailment site.
“I have seven cats also, I hurry up and got them down into containers and we got them out,” Kohn said. “My dog stayed here. I had no choice; they did not give us enough warning to get him out.” Four miles from the derailment, Kindred Spirits Rescue Ranch evacuated all 80 animals to a nearby fairground when the potential explosion alert was sent on Feb. 5. So far, the animals appear fine back home, except for one donkey.
