Still No Origin For Salmonella Outbreak In Alamosa

ALAMOSA, Colo. (CBS4) ― Health officials still have no idea how the water supply in Alamosa became contaminated with salmonella.

There are now 209 people that have become sick.

Alamosa's water is pulled from wells and no chlorine is added.

The city now plans to flush the town's water system out with chlorine on Tuesday.

It could be three weeks before people living in Alamosa can drink the water from the tap.

Gov. Bill Ritter said he's impressed with the response to the salmonella outbreak. He toured the town Saturday after declaring a public health emergency there.
