The city warned against boiling the water because it will only increase the toxin’s concentration.
TOLEDO, Ohio (WWJ/AP) – Residents in Toledo are flocking to stores in Michigan in search of water after Ohio officials issued a “do not drink” warning and declared a state of emergency.
Authorities in Toledo issued an alert around 2 a.m. Saturday, warning residents not to consume any of its water after tests revealed the presence of a toxin possibly related to algae on Lake Erie. The warning applies to about 400,000 people in the area. By the afternoon, Ohio’s governor had declared a state of emergency.
The advisory also applies to a few Michigan communities that receive water from Toledo: Bedford Township, Erie Township, La Salle Township and Luna Pier.
Gov. John Kasich’s emergency order will allow the state to begin bringing water into the Toledo area. Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins said it’s too early to know how long the water advisory will stay in place.

Holy Toledo!
Liberal Govenor?
Try reverse osmosis
Beer was invented because the water would kill you.
SO….. Have a beer.
Did one of Pelosi’s children piss in Lake Erie?
There are chemicals to kill algae that gets into a water treatment facility. I would venture a guess that this is a drill.
One of the psy/op results might be to severely restrict farmers from using fertilizers (which often run off into Lake Erie) in northern Ohio.
Bottom lines: put a cap on farming and/or put all bodies of water, rivers and streams under strict EPA control.
Did anyone happen to sight ‘engineering students’ roaming around the water treatment plant after midnight ?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
How are these clowns going to deal with an Ebola outbreak?
They can’t even quell algae.
They can’t boil the water because it will increase the toxin’s concentration?
How? Won’t boiling the algae kill it?
I’m not buying it. I think they are being told this, not because it won’t work, but because those who love government control don’t want a good crisis to go to waste.
Years ago Ohio and Michigan almost went to war over where to draw the state line. Ohio lost they got Toledo.
Hmm, must be some of the racist, global warming, Bush, did I mention racist?, policies that cause this Al Gae stuff.
Do not drink the water in Toledo. Makes the illegals feel at home.
