BEIJING (Reuters) - China's northeastern city of Harbin prepared to turn the taps back on on Sunday after a toxic spill into its river left millions without water for five days and an 80-km slick still flowing beyond.
Water supplies in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, were due to come back on around 1500 GMT. The local government, quoting provincial and city environmental protection officials, said on its Web site the water would be "safe for drinking".
