        "text": "Black water typically has a strong, foul odor and may appear dark, murky, or contain visible sewage, debris, or chemical residue. Its source is usually an overflowing toilet (especially from the bowl, not just the tank), sewage backup, or floodwaters that have mixed with ground contaminants. If water originates from a natural disaster flood or a sewer line, it is considered black water. Always assume water from these sources is black water and avoid direct contact.",
