The metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) has been experiencing difficult times in relation to water supply in the last two years. One year after face a supply crisis, due to the presence of domestic sewage and industrial pollution, history repeats itself. In February 2021, the State Water and Sewage Company (Cedae) interrupted the supply again due to changes in the taste and smell of the water. If that wasn't enough, a bizarre story began to circulate on the networks social. According to an audio and video that are being shared, Cedae do Rio de Janeiro reportedly found the body of a man and a cow at the station from Guandú. According to the audio, Cedae would have guided residents of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro to drink filtered water, as the bodies, according to history, would have been found in the water distribution center. Check it out: Version 1: “Look, they found today… yesterday, at Cedae, this morning, a body of a man, at the Cedae Supply Center. They are asking to drink filtered water, okay? Or else, water from the bottle. Can't drink water from the spout directly, okay? The water is contaminated. They found the body of a man and of a cow inside the Supply Center, where the water is already flowing distribution, understand?” > ## Ancelmo Gois wrote a text criticizing Eduardo Paes? We check Version 2: “Guys, spread the word to as many people as possible! They found the body of a man and a cow at CEDAE, do not drink tap water as it is contaminated. We will continue without water until they remove the bodies.” ## Body of man and cow are found at Cedae station and should not be drunk tap water? The information quickly went viral on social media, especially on WhatsApp, and left a lot of people worried. Despite this, the story does not pass of bullshit. The explanation is due to the lack of evidence and the denial of the Cedae itself. Just look at the publication to see that it presents the main characteristics of fake news on the internet, such as the vague, extremely alarmism, errors in Portuguese and the lack of reliable sources. Furthermore, fake stories with absurd warnings are nothing new in Internet. The Boatos.org team has already denied many of them, like the one that said that Cedae would have warned that no one should consume tap or filter. Also the one that indicated that a biologist from Fiocruz had warned, in audio, that Cedae's water would be contaminated and, finally, the one that pointed out that the director of the São José hospital, in Fortaleza (CE), would have warned all people stock up on food because of the new coronavirus. We then decided to look for more information and discovered that, when Contrary to what the message suggests, Cedae did not issue any message or guidance on the subject. It is worth noting that if, in fact, there was a recommendation, it would be published and disseminated. In relation to this case, we found some drowning situations in the Guandu River and in the municipality of Baixo Guandu (RJ), but none similar to what appears in the video. Furthermore, we discovered that Agência Lume's checking service denied all the information. According to them, there was only one report of death at Guandu station. However, the news is from 2017. The checking service also entered into contact with Cedae, who denied the entire story. According to Cedae, none Such an occurrence was recorded at the Guandu Treatment Station and the audio it just spreads misinformation. In short: the story that says that Cedae found the body of a man and a cow in a treatment plant and advised people to only drink water filtered is fake! Cedae has not recorded any occurrence of this type in the last days and did not even issue any statement about the use of filtered water. Finally, the Cedae itself denied the information circulating on the internet. I.e, the story is nothing but bullshit. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
