Malathion Contamination Closes City Water Supply in Bancroft
Officials plan a tanker to provide drinking water as Bancroft's water system, shut for hydrant repair, is flushed after malathion chemical entered the supply. The incident involved a sprayer hose siphon and will take one to two days before water is safe for use. Boiling does not help since this is a chemical contamination. James Jeffries coordinates the tanker water distribution.
