The phones have not stopped ringing all morning!

Yeah, and it’s all over Twitter, and it’s all over the blogs saying that the water’s been poisoned and the public health hasn’t done anything to protect the public. Now the mayor’s mad and he wants to talk to our director.

The lab tests aren't ready yet, so we still don't know whether the water is safe to drink.
Public Health Worker 1
Should we advise everybody to drink bottled water, just in case?
Public Health Worker 2
No, I just think that’s just going to create more panic.
Public Health Worker 3
I don’t think we have enough information to tell the public anything yet. I think we need to wait until we know more, and then we can make a public statement.
