Mayor of Toledo, Ohio lifts ban on drinking tap water


    TOLEDO Ohio (Reuters) - A ban on drinking tap water in Toledo, Ohio was lifted early Monday after new tests showed that toxins were no longer at dangerous levels from algae on Lake Erie, the mayor's office said.

    Some 400,000 residents had been told not to drink the water in the Toledo area on Saturday after health officials found the lake, which supplies most of the area's drinking water, may have been affected by a harmful algal bloom.
