MINOT, N.D. – About 50,000 residents in the Minot area continue to boil their drinking water or use bottled water after a plug failure caused a potential for contaminants to enter the water system.
The boil order was expanded Sunday to communities surrounding Minot.
Jason Sorenson, water treatment plant superintendent, said a plug failed on Saturday, causing about 200,000 gallons of unfiltered water to enter the system before the failure was discovered about 20 minutes later.
The potentially contaminated water is mixed with about 1.5 million gallons of water, Sorenson said.

You can die from overdosing on water, so you dont want to force it
