Our water distribution sites are running out today.

My dad grew up on Lake Erie, he would have been 81 this year. He talked about an algae problem in the '50's when he was a teenager.

I feel badly your stores are out too, so far away. Hopefully your tap water is ok?

Our local mayor, Gov Kasich and our Rep had a meeting today, basically, the Feds will only pay 40% to pay for a new water treatment plant, the rest would have to come from taxes. Good luck with that, our water bills have tripled in the past 10 years and people just can't afford the extra taxes. This won't end well.

On edit, you and I both know a new plant won't stop algae.
