Colorado Sewage Spill Hits Arkansas River | Denver News

A massive sewage spill in Colorado dumped four million gallons of raw waste into the Arkansas River, triggering a strict public health advisory. Bacteria levels—including dangerous E. coli—are “extremely high,” forcing everyone—humans, pets, livestock—to stay out of the water from Fountain Creek to John Martin Reservoir. No fishing, no water play, no food prep with river water. Thankfully, tap water is safe thanks to protective measures. The leak was contained by Thursday noon after breaking Wednesday. Officials will monitor water quality daily until it’s safe to return. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
