....this is *so* West Virginia:

West Virginia American Water pulled its bulk water tankers out of
service in Kanawha County Thursday evening, after complaints that the
water being distributed to residents had the same odor as the
chemical-tainted water from last week's Freedom Industries spill into
the Elk River. [...]

Water company spokeswoman Laura Jordan said the tankers had been filled
near the plant after zero levels of the chemical "Crude MCHM" were
recorded. "But to avoid any concerns," she said, "just to reassure our
customers, we're filling up the tankers from another system."
