“My fellow citizens of the City of

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.”
