Cincinnati cuts off drinking water from Ohio River due to East Palestine derailment contamination


It is "believed that low levels of butyl acrylate seeped into the Ohio River through a small creek about 300 miles north of Cincinnati," which prompted the water utility service to take the precaution.

The Ohio River's water intake for the city of Cincinnati will close ahead of incoming pollutants from the East Palestine train derailment in a move that the local water utility service says is "out of an abundance of caution."

According to Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW), a service provided by the city, Cincinnati's drinking water intake in the river will be closed sometime before the contamination is expected to reach that area of the river by early Sunday morning, a local ABC affiliate reported.

Water intakes are structures used for collecting water from surface waterways such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, and directing it to a water treatment plant where it will be made drinkable.
