Biloxi: Don't drink the water when it's back on

[shockingelk]

The hurricane damage looks more and more similar to a multi-pronged terrorist attack ... nature's bioweapons ...

HARRISON COUNTY, Miss. -- Municipal water systems are shut down, but Emergency Operations Center officials believe they will be running again soon.

They also warned residents not to drink any water when it returns to the taps, as it is probably contaminated.

"If you do get water back in your house, don't drink it," said Col. Joe Spraggins, who is in charge of Harrison County's response effort. "We don't know what's in the system." ...

"Thousands of pounds of shrimp went into the water at D'Iberville," Spraggins said. "Also tons of frozen chickens were distributed by Katrina." The shrimp and chicken will release dangerous bacteria into the water once they start decaying.
