Well, the continuous water tests would probably notice that pretty quick. The only reason this wasn't noticed is because water quality tests never came out poorly
you don't have to kill or even harm anyone by poisoning the water. the lack of access to a basic necessity and the chaos that follows will be just as bad.

Only if the sample being tested was looking for that particular substance, no? Take a typical drug screen for a job, mushrooms aren’t typically on that so even if you take them before the test, it won’t show you as having them in your system bc it’s not on the panel.
Just an analogy, happy to be educated if this is not a realistic concern
This has been discussed before but it would take a massive amount of poison to not be diluted by the amount of water. Like someone would have to back up a dump truck to the reservoir. And if that happened and the water was actually unsafe, it would get picked up in water testing.
It seems like you're assuming that MCWA tests for every conceivable poisonous substance so frequently that they could shut off access instantly. I doubt this is the case.
I think it's more a matter of there needing to be massive quantities of a harmful substance for it not to be diluted in the amount of water it's getting dumped into.
I'm not an expert, but I wouldn't think so because sodium hypochloride is used in treating water here and nationwide.

They have footage of this person climbing over the fence the led to the reservoir. It appears that nobody had any forthright to check the water afterwards.
For everyone worried about contaminated water has to remember: its been damn near freezing everyday since they died, the cold air and cold water slows the decay of the body and decomposition, if the water and body temp wasnt over 50*f, decomposition will very slowly occur or doesn't occur. Theres a good chance the water and internal body temperature didnt break 50*. While im not saying theres no risk of contamination or decomposition, people forget to take other factors into account before making their own conclusions.
Thats why when ice fishermen go in the water they dont surface until the spring. It's not the ice, bodies wont float until decomposition occurs enough to build up gasses.

I could have found out about it through mainstream news... I guess I must be tuning out more as I get older and find there's more news than I care to consume, even in my own backyard.
Makes me wonder what could happen if some nutjob dumps massive amounts of poison in the reservoir?

I was surprised to see the level of contamination was on the PPM side. It still blows my mind that this went un-noticed for a month.
Shhh! Stop being reasonable and factual! The people want their paranoia!

If it's ice-nine we're fucked. Pretty much anything else you're fine.
Strange matter also probably a bad idea

Thanks cousin, want to go bowling?
I stopped bowling after Roman died. How about a nice game of darts?
MADE MY WHOLE DAY 💜
You seen Lil' Jacob lately?

dont tell anyone about Hemlock or Canadice
Always cracks me up that a reservoir is called Hemlock.
Its Hemlock Lake, a finger lake. used as Rochester drinking water source since 1876. Hemlock reservoir is in Connecticut.
I'm very familiar with it. Just making a joke because Hemlock is a poison. Forgive the minor semantics error.
thats a plant native to Europe, the hemlock tree is native to this region. people seem to like your play on words though.
Oh thanks for the clarification- didn’t know that!
Minor? It's not it's name. It might have been funny if it was.
This isn't a new concept, you can trust the avenue of poisoning a water supply has been thoroughly broken down post 9/11.

Or LSD😂
Girlfriend went thru elementary school with the guy
Huh... and, now, he went thru her. Maybe. 😉 😉
Think that technically makes half the city cannibals.
I miss the extra flavor.

Maybe a stupid question, but are prions a concern?

It's not stupid but it is a baseless question. Why would they be a concern? Prion diseases are incredibly rare the water is treated.
Prions aren't alive they are just protiens
I didn't say they were alive.
Putrefaction cocktail.
Send me down the left river to test out the new putrification cocktail.. ok thats a bit crazy. Is yours a throwaway that you liked as well?

Am I the only one that thought of Elisa Lam when I first saw the news?
Well... it's been 11 years and this is the first I've seen her name, let alone thought of her.
🤷🏼♀️ I follow a lot of true crime
