Minnesota town fined for water quality violations

The town of Motley, Minn., has been fined $17,500 by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for water quality violations, according to newspaper reports.

The plant was tagged with 46 violations over a 2 1/2-year period from July 2006-December 2008
for "treating twice its permitted levels of total suspended solids and substances that contribute to biological oxygen demand, which resulted in plant overloading and algae problems."

Stories like this really make you question how safe tap water is.
