John Disney of Old Massett Village is continuing with the tests of the rainwater, stream water and tap water and the follwing is the latest news from these tests.

RESULTS:
We are seeing an increased presence of one radiation component (Iodine -131) in RAIN WATER. This number dropped for a week but has now begun to creep up again. It is still below the ‘unsafe’ level though, but as it keeps changing our advisory still stands.
WE ARE ADVISING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO STOP DRINKING RAIN WATER.

In addition to testing the water, Disney has ordered the testing of some local food stuffs including goats milk and seaweed. Direct from their news release is the following;

We are testing seaweed at this time and will post the results as soon as we receive them.
We are planning to monitor home grown vegetables and fish products too very soon. We will also post these results.

Other than the directive to refrain from drinking rainwater, all water sources are currently safe. Again direct from the Old Massett advisory;

Both tap water and stream water continue to show absolutely no signs of any radiation contamination and therefore are safe to drink from our viewpoint.
