Same issue, different year. 40 years ago this summer, when I arrived in Chama as a new employee, I was warned by all "do not drink the water"!
I stayed with Russ Fischer in the bunkhouse and we carried 5 gallon containers on the train for filling with water from the Cumbres tank overflow.
Unfortunately, my new bride, drank some iced tea that she didn't know was made from city water..........it was a rough start for our marriage......
