MALTA, Mont. — Schools were closed and residents were given bottled water Monday in the northern Montana town of Malta after someone cut the wire fence around the city’s water tanks.
An official from the Public Works Department said someone cut the fence and crawled inside before fleeing. Officials discovered the breach Sunday morning, but the Public Works Department can’t determine whether the city’s water was tampered with until testing is complete — with final results a week away.
Officials warned residents not to use tap water for drinking, bathing or cooking.
