Residents of East Palestine, Ohio Receive All-Clear to Drink Municipal Water After Train Derailment

Residents of East Palestine, Ohio have been given the all-clear to drink their municipal water after a train derailment earlier this month, with tests funded by the railroad operator showing no evidence of contamination. The derailment caused disruption and worry for the community, but the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's announcement that the municipal water is safe to drink is a welcome relief. The EPA has requested additional testing from Norfolk Southern to ensure the safety of the water.
