Drinking Water Safety

10 am

It's not usually news when Toledo's mayor drinks a glass of water, but on Monday, cameras swarmed as Michael Collins took a swig of previously-banned H20. Elevated toxin levels, likely from algae blooms, prompted a recent do-not-drink advisory, and this hour we'll look at what caused the problem, and we'll look at the health of Ohio's lakes.

Guests
