EAST PALESTINE, Ohio - Gov. Mike DeWine confirmed that the water testing results as of 3 p.m. on Feb. 15 show “no detection of contaminants in raw water from the five wells that feed into East Palestine’s municipal water system.”
Most area residents have their drinking water provided by East Palestine’s municipal water system, which takes in water from five wells located approximately one mile from the site of the train derailment, the governor said. “Although it was unlikely that any contaminants entered the wells that serve the municipal water supply, Ohio EPA tested the combined, treated water soon after the derailment,” DeWine confirmed. “Those tests showed no contamination.”
