A dam construction site has been pinpointed by officials as the cause of drinking water contamination that happened earlier this month and impacted about 6,000 residents who were ordered not to drink tap water for more than four days. Despite the construction site being identified as the source, officials say the exact cause of the contamination has not yet been identified as lab testing continues.
