HEALTH ALERT From Sublette County Public Health If your well becomes polluted with flood water, it could be contaminated with germs or pathogens. If this should happen, call the County Sanitarian, Keith Raney, at 307-367-2754 for help and information about cleaning up and disinfecting the well. If you have to use the water before you have decontaminated it, bring it to a full boil, then boil it for 4-5 minutes or consider using bottled water.
