FBI: Nonspecific threat made to Orlando, Fla.-area water supply, no evidence of tampering

ORLANDO, Fla. - A nonspecific threat was made against the water supply of the Orlando area, home to major theme parks and tens of thousands of tourists each day, law enforcement officials said. <br> <br> The FBI told law enforcement officials about the threat but did not say when or where it was made or who made it, Joyce Sankey Dawley, regional director of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, said Sunday. <br> <br> The threat hasn&#39;t been corroborated independently, said FBI Supervisory Agent Bill Hajeski, who said he couldn&#39;t comment further. <br> <br> Officials said security at the area&#39;s water facilities was increased and said there is no evidence the water supply had been damaged. <br> <br> Officials were monitoring the Orlando Utility Commission&#39;s eight water treatment facilities, but it was difficult to know what to test for since the threat was so vague, said Sheridan Brecht, a spokesman for the utility. <br> <br> &#34;We&#39;re confident that no one has tampered with our facilities,&#34; Brecht said. <br> <br>
