Daily News | Philly’s water is safe to drink, Mayor Jim Kenney declares: ‘The threat has passed’
“We can all confidently say the threat has passed,” Mayor Jim Kenney said at a news briefing Tuesday evening. “I repeat, all the city’s drinking water is safe to drink.” He even drank a glass himself.
An hour after a news conference Sunday to discuss the spill, at 11:30 a.m. Sunday the city posted a notice advising residents to consider using bottled water starting at 2 p.m. That was followed by cellphone alerts. “The guidance was a suggestion if you feel more comfortable, buy … get a bottled water,” Kenney added. “I don’t think this is rocket science here.”
“Everything gets coalesced into tiny messages on social media, and so something very nuanced became something very short,” Bettigole said. “So, you know, that’s something we want to learn from.”
