durham's water supply is from lake michie and little river reservoir.  
both are upstream of major urban areas, unlike raleigh's supply which 
has durham's northside potw to contend with.  durham has one of the 
cleanest and most dependable water supply in the state.  if the 
filtering system was down for a short while, then an extra dose of 
chlorine was added to kill bacteria...slight discoloration may show up 
when fine sediment cannot be filtered out.  but generators took over for 
the few hours until real power was re-established.

in the future, anyone who says durham's supply is contaminated is 
probably ignorant.  there are no major roads except us15-501 north of 
bahama in the vicinity.  I-85 crosses falls lake - raleigh's supply - a 
tanker wreck could contaminate falls lake, but raleigh's intake is far 
downstream.  also, no potw's discharge into durham's supply.
