It Really Is Something in the Water
Posted on 8/13/2009 by Jeremy Aldrich
ELKTON - For several days now, the town of Elkton has been advising residents to boil water before consuming it after high levels of potentially dangerous contaminants were found in samples tested by a state agency. Crocktown spoke to several locals for reactions:
James Hensley says: "Our family is pretty upset about all this. We always buy bottled water from Chiefy's and those jugs barely fit in the microwave."
Janice Dovel says: "I can live with it, since they say the new water source will be ready later this month. I just boil a whole bunch at once and keep it in the fridge. When my cousins come over from Shenandoah, I give them tap water since the boil order is just for Elkton residents."
Lurlene Knight says: "I told my husband that it would be easier to boil the water in a pot on the stove, but he thinks this is a good opportunity to use his new acetylene torch. I'm running through plastic cups like crazy."
Peewee Shifflett says: "I haven't boiled any water yet. I'll be okay, though, because I just use it to make Kool-Aid, so when I drink it, it's not water anymore."
