'At this point, there's no problem with the water supply,' said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney in Tuesday, in praising the City's response to a chemical spill in the Delaware River.
But, he noted, that the spill isn't akin to the tragedy that befell East Palestine, Ohio, following a train derailment that led to chemicals like benzene and naphthalene being released into the environment.-- should dissipate quickly.
"We didnt want this to happen, It happened in another county and we are dealing with the effects of it," said Kenney. When asked about how local stores saw a rush of customers seeking bottled water after the City's initial updates on the situation, Kenney pointed at"selfish" people causing the problem, not any issue in how municipal officials addressed the situation.
"We had a run on toilet paper back it COVID which makes no sense either. And, there's people buying ten cases of water. It's pretty selfish," said the mayor. Kenney promised that the City would provide an update to this situation later Tuesday afternoon or evening, in an effort to"hopefully get this thing over with this week, if possible."
