AceNewsDesk – We could find no “NPL Pipeline Company,” as named in the letter, but there is an NPL Construction Co., an Arizona-based company that provides natural gas utility infrastructure services.

It operates in 29 U.S.locations, including four in the Chicago area: the city of Chicago, Naperville, Cortland and East Chicago, Indiana.

NPL denied the letter’s premise in a July 21 Facebook post, a tweet and a post on LinkedIn.

“We are aware of a false report stating NPL employees were harmed after drinking drug-laced water offered to them by a member of the public. This information is entirely false,” the posts said.

Bruce Van Wankun, a Cortland Police Department commander, said he spoke with an employee at the NPL office in that town, and that person “verified that this is a false hoax. It never happened.”

The department has received no calls about an incident like the one the post describes, he said.

The Naperville Police Department hasn’t, either, said Kelley Munch, a city spokesperson.

“We are not aware of any such incidents occurring in our jurisdiction,” Munch said.

Luis Agostini, a public information officer for the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Chicago office, called the claims “urban legends” in a July 21 tweet that has since been deleted.

Similar claims across U.S.

Posts describing the same scenario — fentanyl-laced water given to outdoor workers — have surfaced in San Diego and Washington state.

A July 20 Instagram post shared an image of a document from SDGE, a gas and electric company in San Diego. The document, dated July 19, said two flaggers from a local contracting company that were working on a solar project were given fentanyl-laced water bottles, leading to the death of one worker.

Alex Welling, a spokesperson for SDGE, said the document was real, but the company later realized it could not confirm the incident.

“After further evaluation, we discovered the source of this incident information could not be confirmed. All external social media sources that posted this information have been taken down,” Welling said. “However, while we couldn’t confirm the validity of this incident, our safety reminders are still important to keep in mind.”

An undated article on the website of Big Frog 104, a New York country music station, said Rensselaer County Bureau of Public Safety’s director sent a May 25 email to county emergency services to warn them about a similar fentanyl-laced water bottle incident in Spokane, Washington. We reached out to the Rensselaer County bureau to see if the email was real, but have not heard back.

In a search of Google and the Nexis database, we could find no credible news reports that incidents like this have happened in the Chicago area, San Diego or Spokane.

We rated the claim False. Read Jeff Cercone’s full fact check.
