It was not a secret government program that put acid in the Bellaire, Ohio, water supply, and it was not the kind of acid that made the 1960s so interesting. In January, an error at a water supplier’s chemical treatment plant led workers to pour 40 pounds of hydrochloric acid instead of fluoride into the city’s fresh water system, according to local television news reports. About 2,400 residents were urged not to use tap water until it was declared safe.
