They don't know that it is contaminated at all. The hatch was forced open, that's all. Maybe some teenagers went for a swim.

It would be interesting to know whether there was a drop in the free chlorine residual.

True and good point. I guess my take on the situation was overshadowed by the thought of the task of contacting every resident - twice. Seems like a pretty extreme reaction if the end result is just some kids taking a joy-swim. I do hope that's the case.

In Northern Vermont this time of year? They would have frozen to death. My sister went to Lyndon State College in the mid 1980's. Sleepy little ex-railroad town.

Hmmm... Too early for swimming, unless it was a 'I double dare you to swim in the cold, cold water...' ;0)

In Lyndonville, in mid-May?

They likely would have had to chip through the ice....
