The City of Cincinnati cut off its sourcing of water from the Ohio River following the train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine.
The City of Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati Water Works — the city’s water sanitation authority — stated that its reserves “are free from contaminants from the train derailment” and that it will monitor water quality from the Ohio River to determine the time for safe resumption of intake.
This video screenshot released by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board shows the site of a derailed freight train in East Palestine, Ohio, the United States. Some of the train cars were carrying industrial chemicals and it is believed that low levels of butyl acrylate seeped into the Ohio River through a small creek about 300 miles north of Cincinnati. To date, GCWW has tested approximately 159 water samples from the date of the derailment at GCWW’s Ohio River water intake.
