Frustrated West Virginia wants study on chemical spill: official

Frustrated West Virginians want answers to questions about the safety of their water following a chemical spill, a state official said ahead of a U.S. Senate hearing into the accident that left 300,000 state residents without tap water for days. West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant said she would be asking senators for a 10-year study into the effects of the January 9 spill into the Elk River near Charleston, the state capital. She wants to "make sure that we have the confidence back in our water in West Virginia, because we can't get back to restoring our economy if we don't have trust in our water," Tennant told CNN. The state wants the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to supply all the information it can about the safety of West Virginia's water, she said.
