    Default Midway, CO area folks - boil water

    http://www.kktv.com/content/news/BRE...491177611.html

    FOUNTAIN, Colo. (KKTV) A boil order has been issued for water customers living in the Midway area, south of Fountain.
    An official with Wigman Mutual Water company made the announcement Saturday morning. He says Friday's storms caused a leak somewhere in the water delivery system.
    Workers are trying to locate the leak now, but until it is found and fixed, a boil order is in place. All water that is going to be consumed, cooked, or bathed in should be boiled. They are also asking customers to please conserve water as much as possible until the leak is fixed.
    The boil order affects roughly 400 homes in the Midway area. There are currently around 200 homes without water because of the leak. There is no estimate for when the problem will be fixed.
    The state has been notified of the problem. Customers should boil their water until the company says it's okay to stop.

    That sucks.

    Having done SCADA networks for lots of municipal water systems, I know what it takes for them to release such an order. (it's no small thing).

    I sent this on to a few friends that live around there.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I distill all my drinking water. Being that close to Fort Carson, I would definitely distill all my drinking water from there.
