CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - On the third day without clean tap water, business owners with empty dining rooms and quiet aisles of merchandise around West Virginia's capital were left to wonder how much of an economic hit they'll take from a chemical spill.
Most visitors have cleared out of Charleston while locals are either staying home or driving out of the area to find somewhere they can get a hot meal or a shower. Orders not to use tap water for much other than flushing toilets mean that the spill is an emergency not just for the environment but also for local businesses.

A water company executive said Saturday that it could be days before uncontaminated water is flowing again for about 300,000 people in nine West Virginia counties. The uncertainty means it's impossible to estimate the economic impact of the spill yet, said the leader of the local chamber of commerce.

Virtually every restaurant was closed Saturday, unable to use water to prepare food, wash dishes or clean employees' hands. Meanwhile, hotels had emptied and foot traffic was down at many retail stores.

"I haven't been able to cook anything at home and was hoping they were open," Bill Rogers, 52, said outside a closed Tudor's Biscuit World in Marmet, just east of Charleston. "It seems like every place is closed. It's frustrating. Really frustrating."
In downtown Charleston, the Capitol Street row of restaurants and bars were locked up. Amid them, The Consignment Company was open, but business was miserable. The second-hand shop's owner said she relies on customers who come downtown to eat and drink.
"It's like a ghost town," Tammy Krepshaw said. "I feel really bad for all my neighbors. It's sad."

The person she doesn't feel bad for is Freedom Industries President Gary Southern, who told reporters the day before that he was having a long day and quickly wrapped up a news conference on the chemical spill so he could fly out of the area.

"People want answers. They deserve answers," Krepshaw said.

They are expensive, but a good investment for home water storage.

I have a bunch of these WaterBricks stacked up in my home full of reverse osmosis water.What kind of plastic are they made out of?

[mick silver]

as of now i have 15000 t gallon on hand just top off the tank a few days ago . i wonder if the people who own the plant that leak the chemicals will be made to clean up there mess . why would they have those chemical so near the water

[Sparky]

What kind of plastic are they made out of?

I looked these up. They are made of heavy duty plastic that contains no BPA. You can purchase a spigot assembly to replace the gasket-sealed lids.

Depending on how many you buy, they cost in the $17-$20 range each, as does the spigot assembly.

Here are the complete specifications: http://www.waterbrick.org/product-specifications.php

It's a good thing there are so many victims of misfortune to deride or you would have no purpose in life.

It's all the losers of the lottery that support the winners...

Without a massive pile of losers of society to sustain the winners of society...There would be no winners.

All that is happening, in different ways, is a good practice run for the government and the FEMA group, I can only hope that the people themselves are taking notice of what is going on and doing something about it...........like.........how many of the will now keep extra water at home?.............maybe 7%?l idiots.
