Authorities investigate break-ins at water tower, reservoir

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A water tower in east Spokane and a reservoir across the border in Idaho were both broken into recently, and both water systems were found to be contaminated with coliform bacteria.

The intrusions were confirmed Friday by the East Spokane Water District and a member of the Hauser Lake Water Association. Officials do not know if the cases are related, or if the water was contaminated deliberately.

Users of both water systems were told to boil their water or drink bottled water.

E. coli and other coliform bacteria can cause vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and fever.
