West Virginia Lifts Water Ban as Dozens Visit Hospitals 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
West Virginia has lifted its ban on consumption of tap water following
the chemical spill that contaminated a major part of the state's water
supply. But despite the lifting of the ban, dozens of people were
treated at local hospitals over the weekend for symptoms of chemical
exposure. Pregnant women have also been told to continue using bottled
water as a precaution.
