Mountain View water outage persists after cement slurry contaminates main
A Mountain View neighborhood has been without safe drinking water for about a week after a contractor working on a water main let cement slurry contaminate the line with coliform bacteria. About 70 homes and roughly 170 residents are affected. City crews are flushing pipes, inspecting mains, and delivering water or housing to impacted residents, with a neighborhood meeting planned as the restoration effort continues.
