Boil Order Continues for Flood Affected Private Wells Posted 25 June 2008 Rural residents in Linn County with wells in flooded areas should keep boiling their drinking water and water used in cooking and the washing of fruits and vegetables consumed raw, according to Linn County Public Health officials.   Authorities estimate at least one third of the private wells tested in rural areas showed signs of bacterial contamination from flooding. Some measurable contamination is also showing up in rural aquifers not in areas impacted by flooding.   Residents are urged to exercise caution and have private wells and water checked for contamination.
