| Is my
drinking water safe?
Most
bioterrorism experts agree that reservoirs are an unlikely target for bioterrorist.
Methods already in place to filter and clean the drinking water supply
are considered effective against most biological agents. Chlorine,
for example, protects drinking water from other water-borne bacteria and
would neutralize most biological agents. Additionally, the large
quantity of water in New York City's water supply would significantly
dilute a biological agent, limiting its potential to do harm.
