Walkerton E coli outbreak spurs police probe and aid clampdown
Police opened an inquiry into Walkerton Ontario amid one of North Americas worst E coli outbreaks as residents mourn the first of five known fatalities and officials take control of the town water system. The probe centers on why the Public Utility Commission did not alert health authorities about contaminated well water while a boil order remains in effect. Emergency measures and political scrutiny follow Premier Harris visit as residents seek answers and safer supplies.
