Three padlocks were cut to the Boston water supply aqueduct today.
Officials say the drinking water does not look to have been tampered with.
CBS Local reported:

The Global Dispatch reported:
The padlocks to hatches of an aqueduct outside of Boston that supplies drinking water to the metropolitan area were found cut Monday, leading to local concerns after there was a trespassing incident.
Officials say the drinking water does not appear to have been tampered with.
The CBS affiliate is reporting the details, noting that three padlocks were cut from separate access hatches located at approximately half-mile intervals along the aqueduct. Police say there is evidence of an attempt to cut a fourth lock.
State Police are investigating, though they say “there is no evidence of any crime other than vandalism.”
The MWRA says it doesn’t appear anyone tried to tamper with the water supply and there does not appear to be any contamination or changes in water quality.....

...or Yankees fans?.........
Winner, winner, chicken diner.
Yeah, we don’t know which...but one will be hit. This sucks.
IIRC they were at the Quabbin reservoir near Bealchertown, which is near Springfield.
Ever been to a public swimming pool when it's "Teach the elementary kids to swim day"?

Man! The IRS is gonna audit you back to the fetus!
“doesn’t appear anyone tried to tamper with the water supply”
Is this about the most idiotic comment you could make, or what? How would tossing a container of some contaminant into the water be “apparent”?
Yeah, some right-wing nut jobs angry at the people of Mass for giving us the Kennedys /sarc
don't swim in my toilet, I won't pee in yer pool.
Back in the early days of WW II, Britain formed a volunteer organization called the Home Guard.
Bush should have done something similiar after 9/11, if for no other reason than to remind folks that there is an active, ongoing threat to this country.
From Wikipedia:
The Home Guard (initially "Local Defence Volunteers" or LDV) was a defence organisation of the British Army during the Second World War.
Operational from 1940 until 1944, the Home Guard – comprising 1.5 million local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, usually owing to age, hence the nickname "Dad's Army" – acted as a secondary defence force, in case of invasion by the forces of Nazi Germany and their allies.
The Home Guard guarded the coastal areas of Britain and other important places such as airfields, factories and explosives stores.
It looks like another hit on Boston is inevitable.
“how does one, determine if water has been tampered with....”
To give a literal answer to a rhetorical question: competent technicians could test numerous samples of the water for contamination and radiation. But the MWRA doesn’t actually say they did that. They seem satisfied with surface appearances, which doubles down on your question. “MWRA says it doesn’t APPEAR anyone tried to tamper with the water supply and there does not APPEAR to be any contamination or changes in water quality...” At least we can feel safe that there were no visible corpses or glowing warheads.
Idiots. Cutting the padlocks to the water supply is not a mere act of vandalism.
I am so glad I don’t live in Boston.
quick bring in homeland security thugs to check and see if bostonians glow in the dark!!
And the “war on terror” is over. I mean, it can’t go on forever can it? But a guy can try to grow into his oversized peach prize by declaring wars over, right?
Exactly what I was thinking....they're ALREADY there...inside the building.
Nothing to be worried about. But if some 6 year old brings in a 2 inch plastic representation of a gun, it’s the biggest crime of the century!
Mad raving formerly-bearded savages roam the streets, collecting welfare from our hard work, and nobody is worried about this!
They know, if they succeed, that they have nothing to worry about since 0bama will go on TV and say that he will not rest until the people responsible are caught and brought to justice. (but obviously never do anything more than that)
