Imelda may have contaminated 126K groundwater wells in Texas

The National Groundwater Association says Imelda may have contaminated more than 126-thousand household water wells in Texas. 

Major flooding events often result in contamination of well water with E. coli, coliform, and other disease-carrying microbes from human and animal fecal matter. 

A spokesman for the association says well owners in the 13 Texas counties affected by Imelda would be well advised to test their systems.
