From Times Wire Reports
Officials in Alamosa were planning to reopen the city’s schools today as crews continued to flush the city water system to purge it of salmonella.
The schools have been closed since Tuesday, when officials began pumping high concentrations of chlorine into the water system to flush out the potentially fatal bacteria.

The source of the bacteria, which sickened more than 300 people, has not been determined.
