They didn't add it to the water on purpose.
I get that but I find strange that in 2017 in modern countries water quality should still be a debate. It should be in the "problem solved" category.

Brita filter for the win. We do too, and then we boil it, then use it for tea/coffee and cooking. For cold drinks; bottled water. We go through a ton of it. The joys of living in London (UK) and it's crappy water :(
I'm up in Yorkshire, our water is so hard it beats up the kettle, pipes, taps and washing machines on the way through.
YM3: Our water is so hard, it beats up the cops that come 'round to take the report from the little old lady.
YM4: Our water is so hard, I once got arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, by a bunch of beaten-up cops, for holdin' a hose in me own garden.
YM1: I used to carry a chisel round in my pocket, in case I got thirsty.
YM2: I once forgot my chisel, had a drink anyway, and broke all my teeth off.
YM3: We only 'ad one chisel for all of us, and we had to trade it off between the kitchen faucet, and breaking up the toilet water into pieces small enough to flush.
YM4: We had to rent our chisel, and on days when we couldn't afford it, we had to follow cops around and drink their broken-off teeth when they got beaten up.
All: Aye, but we were 'appy in those days....

Jeez, its not like they have to live with it from now on. The treatment facility made a mistake, one as harmless as putting food coloring in the water.

It's a fuckup, its inconvenient, and people may choose to use bottled water for a few days, but it doesn't mean that the government is made of tyrannical despots.
I think the government is made of tyrannical despots, but this incident seems pretty harmless, unlike what's happening at Flint.

I used to live in Leeds and used the water for a few gardening projects were the PH of the water was very important so was also testing it, it was always perfect, never had to modify. Now, when I lived in Hull, terrible water
I'm in Hull :)
