Hey everyone. I know this isn't fishing news but I heard tonight that St. Cloud's water supply is contaminated with E. Coli. I really don't know anything else on the matter. My brother works at Coborns and said that they're running out of bottled water there because of it.

I read about it right after I took 2 big gulps of water from the fountain at the YMCA tonight!

I sure hope I don't get sick!!

How could something like this happen?!?

Capt,

All you have to do is take a look in the Sauk River watershed..... how many feed lots are there in Stearns County alone that were built prior to more stringent standards not to mention upstream in the Mississippi River watershed. How many places are cattle allowed access to the Miss or the Sauk upstream of the St. Clouds intake... The bacteria is there from human and animal waste... Mostly animal in this case.

Unfortunately, until we make some changes big time with the whole concept of stormwater, we may see this more often... confused.gif

The Water plant is located right next to the hospital an is designed for taking water from the mississippi river an making it drinkable...my understanding is it isnt the waterplant

I would bet the E.Coli contamination was taken from places out in the distribution system....waterlines from water towers to your home etc.

they will now take a ton of samples from all over the place under strict supervision of the department of health..the source will be located an taken care of immediately

this warning is a safety measure device to insure your safety...an good for them

give a day or two an see what they come up with...they haveta tell us one way or another

boil all your consumable water for 1 min before using

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
