Do you want a real life reason to use solid water treatment products, like EnduroSolv?? Read the article below from the Cincinnati Enquirer's webpage (written by Carrie Whitaker):
"A chemical spill took the rush out of rush hour Wednesday when northbound Interstate 71 had to be shut down for nearly three hours to clean up boiler cleaner from the roadway, a member of the Norwood Fire Department said.
Norwood police called the fire department at about 4 p.m. after pulling up behind a disabled medium-sized truck that was leaking some sort of liquid, said Norwood fire Capt. Steve Rump.
“We did a quick survey of the scene and realized it wasn’t something we wanted to get too close to,” Rump said. “The placard said ‘Corrosive.’”
As a steady rain threatened to spread the caustic material, authorities at the scene chose to close all lanes of traffic and an overpass just north of the Smith-Edwards highway exit.
Three members of the Greater Cincinnati Hazardous Materials team used a neutralizing powder on the liquid while wearing spaceman-like suits, one in red, one in yellow and another in silver.
Authorities are not sure how the 55-gallon drum of boiler cleaner began to leak, Rump said, but it is believed that the load shifted causing at least one drum to overturn.
The highway reopened around 7 p.m., but the closure caused traffic back-ups all over town."
