Reuters reports that the FBI and other agencies are in the process of investigating multiple threats to Midwest Water Supply Systems. Specifically, the FBI has named Wichita, Kansas as a target, but utility facilities have also been put on alert in other Midwestern cities.
(Reuters) The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation learned of the threats in the past two days and has contacted the water supply facilities and law enforcement offices for the municipalities, said Bridget Patton, a spokeswoman for the FBI office in Kansas City, Missouri.
Patton declined to discuss the nature of the threats or the number of cities affected. She said investigators had been sent out in response to the reports, but offered no details.
“We were made aware of the threat,” Patton said. “We have not been able to substantiate any of the threats.”
Wichita city officials warned employees in emails to be on guard for suspicious activities. City officials also told residents the water is safe to drink and the public will be notified immediately if this changes.
Wichita Police Lieutenant Doug Nolte said Friday that the city had taken steps to keep the city’s water supply safe, but would not describe what measures had been taken.

Preppers’ PING!!
Funny how all these new terror threats are emerging after Obama has been elected for a second term
I'm sure the public will be the first to know--especially if they drink the water...(duh!)
Oh wow, man ... check out the colorful black man .... dude!
Near-riots because of EBT cards shutting down...
The Arkansas power grid flickers...
Water contaminated in Kansas...
But hey, Monday Night Football...
Google “raccoon roundworm” and you’ll see how a bio attack could kill and injure millions in the grossest ant most cruel way. If you don’t have a filtration system on your city water such as a big berk, you are at risk of encysted infection.
. Known local nut, destructive vandal, and possible firebug arrested
Just saying... There is a fairly new and large Moslimb center located there
Muslims been there for years. WSU’s engineering program is rife with them. Theres a huge mosque/ life center near K96 just off of Woodlawn. Scary thing is I dont know if most Wichitans know where their water comes from but I sincerely hope there is more agressive policing in that area. fortunately mid easterners would stick out like a sore thumb in that area of Kansas. (not that all of them are mid east types).
What? Another guy was found pissing in the reservoir?
Oooo, hadn’t seen THAT one, thank you!
Last term it was transparency. This term it's flexibility. Another day, another planned crisis to secure his third term.
We should all look at the shelves for ammo in our local sporting goods store, at the grocery store shelves in Louisiana when the EBT cards showed no limit, at our stores when storms are predicted locally, and at gaps in what we already have in our own homes. Ammo supplies are still nowhere near normal, nor are the prices. If things get rocky, I don’t think store shelves will recover any faster than ammo has. Even if we get back to a normal supply system, the demand curve will have changed. After even a medium glitch, those with money will start stocking up any time they see long shelf-life items in the store, and many will change their discretionary spending to have money for reserve food.
Spam, canned tuna and other canned meats? They will not last long enough to hit the shelf.
Bottled water? Same.
Rice, pasta, potato flakes, flour, beans? Same.
Canned stew/chili, MREs, camping foods, and other storable, prepared meals? Same.
Vegetable markets may recover relatively quickly (except that canners and dehydrators will increase their demand for fresh veggies), along with meat and dairy, but a full recovery will take a LONG time - until the latecomers reach the levels recommended by the LDS church. My supplies are based on the assumption that a temporary supply disruption will produce a long-term demand disruption, and I think that is entirely realistic.
Did they catch a miscreant pissing into a reservoir and his buddies throwing “objects” into the water?
Probably CIA or NSA. Those guys never get along.
Thanks for the alert, Kart. We go to Wichita once in a while, so this sends chills up the spine big-time.

AND the demonic terrorists know how to harvest and cultivate and release the deadly water-born bacteria in fresh and salt water. The confluence of end times data points should have folks’ hair standing on edge in anticipation.
Some may find this summary useful:
There is a pattern of recent threats which have occurred which people should become aware of so they may connect the dots for themselves and prepare spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically in whatever way they believe is appropriate:
* The recent EBT glitches and announcement that there will be an EBT funding cut-off on November 1.

* The power grid in Arkansas was tampered with.

* A NEW THREAT:
REPORTS from Kansas news sources state that there have been threats to the water supply of WICHITA KANSAS and other Midwestern states.

I kept using the water out of the faucet. That is where I made a mistake. If the water had been polluted, I wouldn't have known it until the next day when the paper was delivered. I had plenty of stored water and should have used it as I KNEW that stored water was safe.
If water in the pipes goes away, I'll still have safe water. I have a 55 gallon water barrel next to a downspout and there is a diverter in the downspout so when it rains, I can let really dirty water go down the downspout until the rain has cleared most of the bad stuff off the roof, then divert the water into the rainwater barrel. I can purify that water by putting it through my Big Berkey water purifier and have good water.
I also have the WaterBob to put in a tub and it holds 100 gallons of good water.
Then, there is the 250,000 gallon swimming pool about 20 yards from my front door and my Big Berkey will turn it into good water.
SO, I DIDN'T HAVE TO USE PIPE WATER. I also have camp showers to put my source of water in and hang one at my kitchen sink for running water, hang one in a tub or shower, hang one at the bathroom sink. That makes running water in those places.
I had all that, and still used the water out of the faucet. Don't make the mistake I did. If there is any possibility your pipe water may not be good, use your other sources of water and put it through a water purifier if necessary.
