Just FYI, the water spiked with bleach may not have been an intentional poisoning. Adding a small amount of bleach to water kills off the potential pathogens, it's one of the ways to make potable water on the small scale. The problem with doing this in NOLA is that the water there is also contaminated with toxic chemicals, which the bleach will do nothing to remove. Also, you shouldn't do the bleach trick if you've just heard about it, as AFAIK, it is very tricky to get the proportions right (I *believe* its something like a tablespoon of bleach to a gallon of water, but its been a number of years since I read that).
