Chemical Spill a Blow to West Virginia Capitals Economy
Without clean tap water, business owners wonder what the fallout to their
operations will be.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) On the third day without clean tap water, business
owners with empty dining rooms and quiet aisles of merchandise around West
Virginia's capital were left to wonder how much of an economic hit they'll
take from a chemical spill.
Most visitors have cleared out of Charleston while locals are either
staying home or driving out of the area to find somewhere they can get a
hot meal or take a hot shower. Orders not to use tap water for much other
than flushing toilets mean that the spill is an emergency not just for the
environment but also for local businesses.
A water company executive said Saturday that it could be days before
uncontaminated water is flowing again for about 300,000 people in nine
West Virginia counties. The uncertainty means it's impossible to estimate
the economic impact of the spill yet, said the leader of the local chamber
of commerce.
Virtually every restaurant was dark Saturday, unable to use water to
prepare food, wash dishes or clean employees' hands. Meanwhile, hotels had
emptied and foot traffic was down at many retail stores.
"I haven't been able to cook anything at home and was hoping they were
open," Bill Rogers, 52, said outside a closed Tudor's Biscuit World in
Marmet, just east of Charleston. "It seems like every place is closed.
It's frustrating. Really frustrating."
In downtown Charleston, the Capitol Street row of restaurants and bars
were locked up. Amid them, The Consignment Shop was open, but business was
miserable. The second-hand shop's owner said she relies on customers who
come downtown to eat and drink.
"It's like a ghost town," Tammy Krepshaw said. "I feel really bad for all
my neighbors. It's sad."
The person she doesn't feel bad for is Freedom Industries President Gary
Southern, who told reporters the day before that he was having a long day
and quickly wrapped up a news conference on the chemical spill so he could
fly out of the area.
"People want answers. They deserve answers," Krepshaw said.

State officials believe about 7,500 gallons leaked from the tank, some of
which was contained before flowing into the river. It's not clear exactly
how much entered the water supply.

By Saturday morning, FEMA said it had delivered about 50 truckloads of
water, or a million liters, to West Virginia for distribution at sites
including fire departments.
