At a news conference on Sunday afternoon, the city’s mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Gov. John R. Kasich said they did not know when the tap water ban would be lifted. They were waiting for an analysis of water samples by the federal Environmental Protection Agency before deciding whether the water was safe to use.
“I want to make sure that I would be comfortable with my family — my daughters and my wife — drinking the water,” Governor Kasich said. “When I’m comfortable with that, then I think we’re in a position where we can say to the people here in Toledo that we feel good about it, and we can move forward.”
Earlier in the day, Mayor Collins said that the water quality appeared to be improving. “All I can tell you is everything is trending in a very positive direction,” he said.
