PLN 7-Alamosa water still iffy

I recently finished reading an article, titled Alamosa water still iffy in the Rocky Mountain News section by Ann Imse. This article talks about the people cutting down on water shortage until tests of tap water come back. Many tests have shown that salmonella is involved in this tap water from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Citizens are banned from it temporarly. It reported 326 cases of salmonella poisoning and 13 hospitalizations.

I thought this was important because this case seemed serious, reading from the article. The water has already poisoned many people and it is essential that the Colorado Department clears this problem.

Everybody drinks water and is part of everyone's health. I thought this related to the poor people in Africa, because many of them die because they don't have enough drinking water or because it is not clean.
