OFFICE OF DELEON FOR MAYOR CAMPAIGN CALLS FOR CALM; URGES MAYOR KENNEY TO REQUEST GOVERNOR SHAPIRO TO PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE  MOBILIZATION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA NATIONAL GUARD TO ESTABLISH WATER PURIFICATION AND WATER DISTRIBUTION POINTS CITYWIDE IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY

 

              PHILADELPHIA, PA (USA) -- In response to the unexpected POTENTIAL  city-wide water crisis which has developed during the course of the past 24 hours, the Office of the Mayoral Campaign of The Honorable James M. DeLeon has issued the following statement:

             “My fellow citizens of the City of Philadelphia, in response to this unexpected potential  city-wide water crisis which has developed and impacts our neighborhoods, our families, schools, businesses,  and health and medical institutions, and our physical health and safety, I urge The Honorable James Francis Kenney, the Mayor of the City  of Philadelphia to issue a request to the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania The Honorable Joshua Shapiro to prepare for the possible mobilization of the Pennsylvania National Guard for the purpose of establishing water purification and water distributions points throughout the City of Philadelphia.    The request for the possible mobilization of the Pennsylvania National Guard to address this unexpected  potential crisis that is occurring in the City of Philadelphia Is designed to ensure that emergency response is in place if the need arises to ensure that the citizens of Philadelphia will have access to clean and safe water.    Further, I call on The Honorable James Kenney, the Mayor of the City of Philadelphia to provide the citizens of the City of Philadelphia with full daily transparent reports regarding how each governmental agency of the City of Philadelphia is addressing the unexpected  potential city-wide water crisis  and the anticipated duration of the unexpected potential city-wide water crisis.  To my fellow citizens of the City of Philadelphia, I ask you to remain calm, to be courteous and respectful to each other, to check on the elderly, family members, and neighbors.  At the present time, each of us has been advised that the City of Philadelphia’s water supply is safe and that we can utilize the water flowing through our faucets for drinking and cooking until approximately 11:59 P.M. (E.S.T.) -   Wednesday, 29 March 2023.  I urge each of you to create a  supply of safe water  by  filling empty bottles and buckets with water that is now deemed to be safe which flows from the faucets in your home.    We can and we will get through this unexpected  potential city-wide water crisis -- together.”
