Water supply was resumed Thursday after a day's suspension in Jilin City, northeast China, where 3,000 chemical-filled barrels were washed into a major river, causing contamination fears, said a source with the local water company.

The sources said the suspension was caused by "repair of water supply facilities", while tests showed the water in the Songhua River was free of chemicals Thursday.
