That's the story, anyway, from the East Palestine, OH, tests that the EPA conducted.
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) challenged EPA Administrator Michael Regan to drink a glass of tap water in East Palestine, Ohio, after the agency claimed the water supply was safe despite the small town’s recent Norfolk Southern train derailment and toxic chemical disaster.
Here's the deal, and Belle and I were talking about it over coffee. We no longer trust the federal government. Not since Ruby Ridge, not since Lois Lerner, not since the 51 intelligence spooks. Every word from Joe Biden is a lie.
Every fourth commercial on my TV is about a Camp Lejune water problem that they had back in the 60s. Are the folks in East Palestine supposed to believe that those chemicals did not get into the water supply?
With the weaponization of the IRS, the weaponizing or the FBI, the continuing lack of transparency from the Biden administration, the continuing inability of the Justice Department to hold people accountable and the full realization that we now have a two-tiered justice system, it is no surprise that many of us no longer trust the federal government. They have wrecked their credibility.

That they have, and appear to be 'ignoring' the boots on the ground.
My question is, which water system, and was his water really from a tap?
There are a couple of public water systems in that area, and LOTS of wells. They could have found a clean system for him, or the water could be from elsewhere.
Anyway, If I lived in that area, I'd be much more worried about air quality and residue on the ground than the water.
Even the firefighting “foam” that contains PFAS has the potential to contaminate water supplies causing increased levels of cancer. Lawsuits in eastern New York State and Vermont on the contamination. So yeah, skepticism is definitely warranted.
There's also a significant difference between "safe enough to drink a glass of water" and "safe enough to drink on regular basis for the next year or more".
