News Briefs: 'Highly Intoxicated' Swimmers​ Continue Breaking Into Treatment Facility

A group of routinely intoxicated homeless men are using the Mill Creek Water Treatment Facility’s pond as a swimming hole, according to the San Miguel (Colorado) Sheriff’s Office. Authorities say via Twitter that deputies are investigating the group for trespassing on plant grounds and swimming in a pond that feeds Telluride’s water supply. “Although the water is treated before it reaches the public, there is a reason there's a security fence around the facility, and this violation is of great concern,” reads the tweet. “Most of the group are often highly intoxicated and are well known to law enforcement.”
