West Virginia Water at Risk – Federal Government Launches Investigation

The federal government is in the early stages of launching an investigation into how some West Virginia water has been contaminated, leaving 300,000 people at risk. Since Thursday, schools and places of business have been closed in an attempt to lessen the risk of usage and possible consumption of water that has been deemed hazardous. The West Virginia National Guard will spearhead the effort to supply the residents of nine counties with clean, drinkable water until the contamination is contained.
