Days after up to 40,000 gallons of crude oil spilled from a broken pipeline, an unknown amount of which ended up in the Yellowstone River, one Montana town downstream from the spill is now under a drinking warning after elevated levels of a cancer-causing chemical were found in the town's drinking supply.
The warning was issued Monday for Glendive, Montana, a town of around 6,000 people on the North Dakota border,more than two days after the spill occurred, after tests on a water treatment plant revealed concentrations of Benzene above limits safe for consumption, the Billings Gazette reports.
