Philly water is safe to drink until midnight Monday….then….who the fuck knows?

From Philly.com :


After advising residents they may want to switch to bottled water Sunday afternoon following a chemical spill into a Delaware River tributary — setting off a buying spree that emptied store shelves across the city — Philadelphia officials said the city’s tap water would be safe to drink at least through Monday night.
The advisory, which officials initially issued Sunday morning “out of an abundance of caution” in response to Friday night’s release of chemicals from a processing plant in Bucks County, was updated based on sampling results and new estimates of how long it might take water that entered the city’s Baxter Drinking Water Treatment plant early Sunday morning to make its way to residents.
“There is no need to buy water at this time,” city officials said in a statement posted online at 4 p.m. “Customers can fill bottles or pitchers with tap water with no risk at this time.”
The city said tap water would remain safe to drink until at least 11:59 p.m. Monday. Officials said they would update the media Sunday at 5 p.m.
