 Bonnie Wireman of Dry Branch, W.Va talks about how the ban on using tap water for drinking and washing has effected her and her family Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014 in Dry Branch, W.V. Wireman is one of thousands of area residents affected by the water ban following the chemical spill on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014. The widow of a coal miner, Wireman is frustrated about the chemical spill that’s deprived 300,000 West Virginians of clean tap water for four days. But she also wanted to make one thing clear: She didn't blame the coal or chemical industries for the spill - they’re the ones that bring in the jobs. (Michael Switzer/AP Photo)
