Despite the lines being disinfected, the spring was deemed "a possible health concern," in accordance with criteria established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, EPA. Subsequent efforts to identify the source of the contamination and remedy its effects were also unsuccessful at that time. 25 YEARS AGO Lee Thompson of Delphi has been appointed city judge of Delphi.
