        "text": "Water from a toilet overflow is generally considered contaminated, especially if it has been in the bowl or contains any waste. Category 1 water (clean water) can quickly become Category 2 (gray water) or Category 3 (black water) if it sits for too long or comes into contact with contaminants. It's best to assume any toilet overflow water is unsanitary and take precautions. Black water, which contains sewage, poses a serious health risk and requires professional remediation.",
