For me it would be the tap water.

Stupid Lake Erie algae.

Question for FOFCers,

as anyone following the news knows, Toledo Ohio water is undrinkable because of some kind of poison produced by algae, even boiling the water just makes the problem worse.

So when they do clean up the toxins in the water supply, how do they go about getting rid of all the bad water that are in the pipes already? How long does it take?

I've been curious about this story- any more back story and update?

One of my bosses has family in Toledo and he brough 6 cases of water up for his Grandmother. Said there are people selling cases of water out the back of trucks for $20.

Disgusting.

Well the drinking ban has been lifted and to answer my question from before, this is what we're being told to do to get rid of the bad water.

I haven't seen that personally (though I don't doubt it), and even my local Krogers had water in stock when I went there Saturday for a more reasonable $5/case. Maybe it's because I lived on the edge of the affected area.
