IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Residents in the St. Mary’s Glacier area are using jugs to get useable water after their wells were closed because of low levels.

Four water wells operated by the St. Mary’s Glacier Water & Sanitation District have been shut down after they started running dry.

The Denver Post reports (https://tinyurl.com/n6v5ys4) residents are getting their water from large plastic containers on a flatbed trailer in a parking lot.
