Glidden placed under boil order
September 20, 2010
A water tower in
Glidden, Iowa, drained
due to a computer malfunction, and the DNR has
issued a boil-water order for the community due to concerns that there may have been bacterial contamination due to the loss of pressure. Boil-order notices are a rare event, but when they do occur, they should serve to remind people of the remarkable value they get every day from reliable
municipal drinking-water systems.
