So,last night we find out there was a SECOND CHEMICAL that was spilled Into our WV [View all]

Water two weeks ago.

At Freedom Industries Bankrupcy hearing in Charleston, WV, Freedom Industries officials admitted that there was a second chemical in that tank. Something called PCH. Whatever the hell that is.

This has just now come to light. As of now the official word is, "We are waiting on the CDC to get backto us, and the National Guard is out again testing our water".

Thankfully our water is still so fouled very few people have been using it even after the all clear.

Sigh...
