Members of the West Virginia Army National Guard, along with a member of the Belle Police Department and a volunteer, offload emergency water from a military truck to a forklift as citizens line up for water at the Belle Fire Department, Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, in Belle, W.Va. As of Saturday afternoon, officials had no estimate for when water would be safe for use to West Virginia American Water customers in the Kanawha Valley after as much as 7,500 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, or Crude MCHM, a chemical used in the preparation of coal, leaked into the Elk River from a containment tank about a mile and a half from West Virginia American Water’s intake station.
