Staceyville ordered to boil water after E-coli found

May 23, 2007 By admin

There’s a boil order for people in the northern Iowa town of Staceyville after a test of the city’s water supply turns up E-coli bacteria. Staceyville City Clerk Harlan Bisbee says one of the four samples in a test of the water showed the presence of the bacteria, which can cause severe cramps and diarrhea.

Another test was taken of the water on Tuesday and the city hopes to get the results of the test back later today. The city meanwhile has increased the level of chlorine in the water to counteract the bacteria and is offering bottled water for free at City Hall.
