US Sen. Sherrod Brown echoed officials’ beliefs Sunday that the water and air are safe in East Palestine, Ohio, after a train carrying hazardous materials derailed there earlier this month, but he acknowledged that residents are “right to be skeptical.” “We think the water’s safe,” the senator, a Democrat, told CNN’s “State of the Union,” days after he visited the community, citing comments made by the administrators of the state and federal Environmental Protection Agencies.
And state officials have repeatedly determined water from the municipal system – which is pulled from five deep wells covered by solid steel casing – is safe to drink, though the state EPA has encouraged those who use private wells to get that water tested, since they may be closer to the surface.
