Umyalelo wokubilisa okhishwe ezinye izakhamizi zasePeabody ngo-2:30 ntambama ngoLwesihlanu udonsa kuze kube ngu-1 emini ngoLwesibili, lapho ukudla okulula kudliwa ngamapuleti amaphepha ukugwema isidingo samanzi.
Abanye, njengo-Courtney Schmill, bafaka amanzi abilayo ebhodweni eliseduze nosinki bese befaka i-bleach ezitsheni.
“Ngaphandle kokuthi uzikhumbuze ngokucophelela ukuthi ungadlali, ngeke uqaphele ukuthi ubhukuda kangakanani emanzini,” kusho yena. “Ngizizwa njengowesifazane oyiphayona, ocwilisa izitsha zami zetafula emlilweni ovulekile.”
UShmill uhleli endlini yokugezela ngesikhathi indodana yakhe eneminyaka engu-9 igeza, eyikhumbuza ukuthi ingawuvuli umlomo wayo. Wathenga namanzi asebhodleleni ukuze laba ababili bawasebenzise lapho bexubha amazinyo futhi begeza ubuso.
“Ngiyabonga ngokuthi ukugeza nokugeza kulungile,” kusho yena, “kodwa, Nkulunkulu, sengikulungele ukusebenzisa umpompi futhi.”
Ikhansela loMkhandlu kanye nelungu lekomiti lezamanzi uJay Gfeller (uJay Gfeller) uthe ngenxa yenkinga ye-circuit breaker, i-valve evalwe ngesikhathi kuhlolwa umbhoshongo wamanzi wasePeabody ngoLwesine awukwazanga ukuphinda uvulwe.
Kubangela ukungalingani kumfutho wamanzi, okungase kuphazamise izinga le-chlorine esele futhi kubangele ukukhula kwamagciwane, ngakho-ke uMnyango Wezempilo Nemvelo wase-Kansas ukhiphe i-oda lokubilisa.
Kungakapheli ihora ekhiphe umyalelo wokubilisa, uGfeller kanye nezinye izisebenzi zasedolobheni bangena emigwaqweni besakaza amapheshana anolwazi lwezokuphepha.
Idolobha lithinte isitolo ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi banamanzi anele asebhodleleni. I-Peabody Markets yayigcina amanzi ngesikhathi sesomiso esanele, nakuba yayingakwazi ukusebenzisa izihlinzeki zamanzi, ama-soda dispensers, noma imishini yekhofi-konke okwakuyimali eningi esitolo.
Ayibanga isiyaluyalu njengokubilisa ngesikhathi esifudumele. NgoMsombuluko, amashalofu e-Peabody Market ne-Family Dollar abesagcwele amanzi asemabhodleleni.
NgoMsombuluko, ukuhlolwa kwe-chlorine kwansuku zonke kutholwe ukuthi i-chlorine isifinyelele ezingeni eliphephile, kodwa amasampula amanzi kufanele athunyelwe ku-Pace Analytical e-Salina ukuze kutholwe ulwazi oludingwa yi-KDHE ukuze kukhuliswe ukubilisa.
Izikhulu zePeabody zithe i-Pez Analytica ivale ngempelasonto futhi ayikwazi ukwamukela amasampula ngaphambi kukaMsombuluko, ngakho uLwesibili yisikhathi sokuqala sokuthi ama-oda akhanselwe.
