An “accidental release” of arsenic Wednesday has prompted Lisbon officials to continue a do-not-drink order for all residents on town water, and the Lisbon Water Department was making bottled water available to residents. Interim Water Department General Manager Shellie Reynolds said she could release no additional information about the source of the arsenic or its spread in the system. The Water Department is directing people not to consume the water at all. Boiling it will not make it safer.
