Reservoir Reopens After Sewage Spill | Colorado Springs News

John Martin Reservoir in Colorado is back open for swimming after E. coli levels dropped below safety thresholds following a massive 4.2 million gallon sewage spill from Pueblo’s busted stormwater pipe. While the reservoir is clear, downstream areas like Blende and Las Animas still have dangerously high E. coli counts, so stay alert and check local advisories. If you come into contact with contaminated water, wash thoroughly and seek medical help if you feel unwell—especially if you’re vulnerable.
