I'm sure it would scare a bunch of people , and no doubt some old people would kick the bucket. but highly unlikely  there are much easier bio-terror items

Cholera in the East River or the Mississippi would be a big deal. All water supplies in America are not protected well. Remeber the poor areas in New Orleans during Katrina. Those people mostly died and suffered because of poverty that hampered their escape and access to care.
Upper Manhattan of New York city doesn't have chlorinated water; it come straight out of the East River.
Keeping hydrated: people here still die of heat stroke so don't count on people knowing what to do.
