Water Contaminated with E.Coli One Burlington County, N.J., community received a warning Wednesday about dangerous drinking water.

E. coli and fecal coli form apparently got into Evesham Township's water supply.

Warnings were hand-delivered to places like hospitals, nursing homes and restaurants Wednesday. But some residents said word of the problem didn't adequately get to them.

"I was a little upset because I have a small child, a 16-month-old daughter, who drank the water," said Colleen Logue.

Logue, who is among 16,000 customers who get their water from the Evesham water facility, is now worried about her daughter's health. Residents are being urged to boil water before drinking it.

"Makes me upset that this could happen to her, someone so young," Logue said.

Officials hope to have the issue resolved by Friday.

Logue is watching her daughter closely, and the little girl is doing fine.
