Shoshone-Bannock Tribes to upgrade water system


Homes on the Fort Hall Reservation of Idaho will get clean water thanks to a $700,000 federal grant.

The water on the reservation is contaminated with ethylene dibromide, a chemical that was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency. Ingesting the chemical can cause serious damage to the liver, stomach and other internal organs.

Working with the Indian Health Service, the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes will address the problem by installing a water purification system.
