Warm Springs residents now able to drink clean water

Residents of Warm Springs Indian Reservation are able to drink tap water again without having to boil it first, following a one-week prohibition from drinking water that may have been contaminated because of pressure losses caused by planned repairs.

The restriction was lifted midday Thursday, according to a letter from the Warm Springs public utility obtained by The Bulletin. Authorities completed two rounds of testing for bacterial contamination with all results returning negative.
