Alamosa city clerk Judy Egbert was cited as saying the town’s water supply which was tainted last month by salmonella bacteria could be fit to drink as soon as midweek.
At least 379 people have had the stomach cramping, diarrhea, fevers and other symptoms of salmonella infection, Egbert said.
Of those, 106 cases have been confirmed with laboratory tests, and 15 people have been hospitalized.
