The situation forced school officials in St. Cloud School District 742 to cancel all closes at all schools in the district today. (typo is KARE 11's)
Sartell Middle School is also closed, but the remaining schools in that district are open.
The St. Cloud Water Treatment Facility collected positive E. coli bacteria samples on finished drinking water from inside the water treatment facility. Facility administrators say all residents should drink bottled water or boil the water for at least one minute before drinking it.
