Fire chief, head of police and mayor CHEERS and drink glasses of water

East Palestine’s fire chief, head of police and mayor CHEERS and drink glasses of water from tap to prove it’s safe after toxic train derailment and forced explosion pumped cancer-causing chemicals into Ohio air

Husted, a Republican, joined US Rep. Bill Johnson, Ohio EPA Director Anne Vogel, and East Palestine’s mayor, fire chief and police chief in the joint stunt to drink the water on camera.

‘You all just saw us drink a glass of water. Our municipal water here in East Palestine is safe,’ said Mayor Trent R. Conaway. 

‘If you have well water, please get it tested, and please stay away from the creeks and streams – yes, they are polluted, and we have had fish kills, but as far as the municipal water, it is safe.’

Following the February 3 derailment of a Norfolk Southern train carrying vinyl chloride and other toxic substances, residents of East Palestine have expressed fears about air and water safety, amid anecdotal reports of illness symptoms. 

The Ohio EPA on Friday released final testing results confirming ‘that there is no indication of risk to East Palestine Public Water customers.’
