For what it's worth, the pseudonym Kemuri is Japanese for smoke.
There was a recent incident in the UK where too much chlorine was added to the water supply, leaving it unsafe even for washing. I wonder if it's connected?

- luxpir 11y agoThat's why I followed this link tonight, as that incident hasn't yet been explained. It caused widespread panic in a matter of hours. Perhaps simple to flush the system once, but that would be unsustainable in the long run. It's like a public services denial of service.
- mike_hearn 11y agoI don't think so. That does look like a rather good fit, especially as the BBC article states quite clearly that the chlorine overdose was spotted due to monitoring alarms, just like the Verizon article states. But Verizon claims the valves were manipulated to "no particular effect" which doesn't seem credible if it required a full system flush and a do-not-use to be posted. Also Severn Trent has 4.6 million customers, not 2.5 million.
