    Toxins make second China city cut water

    Another town on a poisoned Chinese river shut down its water system Wednesday after Communist Party members went door-to-door giving out bottled water in an effort to show that China's leaders can protect the public from the latest environmental disaster.

    Running water to about 26,000 people in Dalianhe, on the outskirts of Yilan, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, stopped at 6 p.m. as a slick of toxic benzene on the Songhua River approached, said an employee who answered the phone at the county government offices.

    HARBIN: China will send equipment by Friday to test water for benzene to Russian authorities as the contaminated slick in the Songhua River approaches the international border, Chinese officials said yesterday.

    "It will last three days," said the employee, who would give only his surname, Gu.

    The government said Yilan itself should not be affected because the city of about 110,000 people gets its water from wells instead of the river.

    The benzene arrived a day after Harbin, a major industrial center upstream, declared its water safe to drink after the system supplying 3.8 million people was shut down for five days.

    In Yilan, television broadcast hours of reports Wednesday on the water shutdown, including a government statement warning the public not to use river water.

    News reports showed police and party members in red armbands going door-to-door in freezing weather, handing out leaflets and giving cases of drinking water to the elderly and poor. An elderly man lying in bed shook hands with a police commander.

    "I really thank the government," another man, identified as Zhou Changgui, was shown saying.
