Don't drink the water, Toledo. About 400,000 Ohioans were told not to drink their tap water after dangerous toxins seeped into Toledo's water. Scientists found the harmful organisms in Toledo's Collins Park water-treatment plant early Saturday. Consuming the water can lead to nausea, fever and skin irritation, officials said. Boiling the water will only make the toxins worse. The order applies to the whole city and anyone in the surrounding area who gets their water from the Toledo plant — the facility processes water for about 400,000 people in a 100-square-mile area of Ohio.

Sounds like some food poisoning cases. Cooking does not kill some bacterial toxins.

They say that New York has the cleanest tap water in the country. Is this true?

I don't know... You read different reports & you see various different cities that are mentioned as having the cleanest tap water in the nation.....

It might not be the cleanest, but it's certainly pretty good. I only drink tap at home, and I like the taste of it better than purified water. Hope I don't have to give it up.
