January 7, 2008--Boil water, Forest View residents told (Colorado Springs Gazette)
The state health department has told customers of a tiny northern El Paso County water district to boil their water after an open valve allowed untreated water into the system. The boil order, which went into effect Friday, affects the 285 homes in the Forest View Acres Water District located between Monument and Palmer Lake. The trouble started Thursday when operators, who were installing new filters at the water treatment plant, accidentally left a valve open, letting water from Lower Monument Creek flow into the district storage tank.
