From the Glendive Ranger Review: Bridger Oil Spill Update Monday January 19, 2015 17:00 On January 17th at 3:00 pm, Bridger Pipeline, LLC notified local authorities of a potential release from a pipeline that crosses the Yellowstone River approximately 5 miles upstream from Glendive. Dawson County has received complaints of odor in drinking water from people who use the municipal water supply. Water samples were taken from the municipal drinking water supply on Monday morning and were expedited to Energy Labs in Billings for analysis. Until more definitive information is made available, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that residents do not ingest municipal water and to use bottled water for drinking and cooking. The Incident Management Team has ordered bottled water for public distribution at The EPEC building located at 313 South Merrill Avenue – time to be announced – for individuals seeking assistance. Water conservation is encouraged to preserve water capacity for emergency response. Information about testing and drinking water will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
