Multiple reports are coming out about a FBI investigation into threats to the water supply in Wichita, Kansas and other unnamed cities throughout the midwest.
In the past two days authorities learned of specific threats to the atwer supply but according to a spokeswoman, those threats are not substantiated but are actively under investigation.
Authorities are also declining to discuss the exact nature of the threats.
Via RINF:Wichita city officials warned employees in emails to be on guard for suspicious activities. City officials also told residents the water is safe to drink and the public will be notified immediately if this changes. Wichita Police Lieutenant Doug Nolte said Friday that the city had taken steps to keep the city’s water supply safe, but would not describe what measures had been taken.
[Update] The city of Topeka has issued a press release:
The City of Topeka is aware that there have been reported threats against public water supplies in the Midwest. Because this is a threat to Midwestern cities, we have taken appropriate precautionary measures to monitor the water quality and should any unsafe conditions be identified, the City will immediately notify the public. Specific details will not be released regarding safeguards the City is taking. The FBI should be contacted regarding details of any specific threat locations.
