From RSOE this morning
2 Water Plants, 1 in Virginia and 1 in Canada - just north of Michigan- had incidents with chemicals being added to water for treatment yesterday.
Directly from RSOE:
VIrginia:
A chemical reaction at a Mecklenburg County treatment plant sent 11 people to the hospital. Wednesday morning, two chemicals used to treat water were being transported to the Roanoke River Service Authority. During delivery, the chemicals accidentally mixed together releasing a toxic vapor. The driver of the truck, as well as eight fire and rescue workers and two of the plant's employees were exposed to the fumes and taken to the hospital. They are all expected to be ok.
Ontario Canada Explosion:
Residents in the St. Mary's Hospital area of Kitchener were startled Wednesday afternoon by an explosion at a water treatment plant. The explosion occurred shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday at 20 Greenbrook Drive. Fire crews, including 15 firefighters and a hazmat team, responded to the scene moments later. Officials believe the likely cause of the explosion was a delivery of ammonia accidentally being pumped into a chlorine tank. "What we have been able to determine from the chemicals involved is (that) it doesn't pose a health risk to the surrounding areas,” says Beckett. Neighbours report hearing two explosions loud enough to shake their houses, and the smell of chlorine permeated the air in the minutes following the explosion. "We were sitting in the living room ... and just heard a huge bang. We couldn't figure out what it was," neighbour Charles Love tells CTV News. After hearing the noise, Love looked outside and noticed a "steam or mist" coming from the water treatment plant. The blast was powerful enough to take out part of the structure's roof while also causing interior damage. Greenbrook was closed between Stirling Avenue and Westmount Road as firefighters investigated the explosion.

Two chemicals used to treat water...my guess is they
were chlorine and ammonia.
Chloramine (a combination of chlorine and ammonia) is
used to treat water now instead of just chlorine. The
EPA changed their rules and in 2010 a lot of
municipalities changed to chloramine.
You know you're not supposed to combine chlorine bleach
and ammonia, don't you? It makes a poison gas.
Got gut issues since about 2010? Maybe your water has
chloramine now. It stays in the water and won't gas
out, won't boil out, you can't neutralize it with salt,
it will kill your fish, and it is deadly if used for
kidney dialysis.
They didn't do any tests of the effect of chloraminated
water on humans before they changed the rules.
Water treatment plant workers like it because it stays
in the water even if there is a break in the line.
If it keeps its germ-killing power under those
conditions, don't you think maybe it could be killing
the "good bugs" you are supposed to have in your gut?
That leads to problems with the immune system, which is
involved in food allergies, etc., etc.

Thanks for copying what you did and posting. Something about water
going on...and also the Chile and tsunami warnings ....water whatever,
too much, not enough, toxic and so on.
For what part we do find info on, I figure there is a lot more we are not
informed of.
H2O is precious, we need more purity of it...but...well, enough said.
