Is there a place we can get info on water quality concerns based on the recent railcar spills west of here?

Citizen to official: "Sir, is our water safe to drink?"
Official to citizen: "That's what we're waiting to find out."

It is lucky that downstream cities were notified. Several years ago, there was a spill in the Yellowstone near Forsyth and their water department was not told of it.

It is ironic, though, how Daines and Rosendale both talked about the dismal condition of infrastructure, but both voted against the bill that would address these conditions.
