Families say inmates who protested over drinking water at Stillwater prison are being retaliated against

“We recognize there are sediments in the well water, which can at times affect clarity with a reddish-brown tint,” said DOC Spokesman Andy Skoogman in a release, who added the testing will include water from cell faucets. “It’s important to point out that although the water may be unclear, it has not been deemed unsafe through the routine third party water testing.”

Has it been deemed safe? Or is the system "¯(ツ)_/¯ IDK drink it good luck"?

(I mean, I already know the answer. The article talks about testing in general terms without really making it clear whether the water quality in the cells has been tested, when, or what the results were... which, to not answer the question is answering the question.)

Oh the irony in the name
I misread "drinking" as a verb in the title and was very confused for a moment
The sad thing is it can get so much worse.
