Bad water dispensed at Washington ferries HQ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE -- For the past five years workers at the Washington state ferry headquarters in Seattle have been drinking water connected with the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.
The ferry system says the plumbing mistake was discovered last month by maintenance workers.
Initial tests showed the water has high levels of nitrates and other water samples are still being tested. Workers will meet with a toxicologists next week to talk about how they may have been affected by the bad water.
About 240 people work in the building.
