Water supply off-limits in Montana town after Yellowstone River oil spill - LA Times

“The initial results of samples taken from the City of Glendive’s drinking water system indicate the presence of hydrocarbons at elevated levels, and water intakes in the river have been closed,” the EPA said in a statement.
