Experts and city officials say that claims making the rounds on social media that a homeless encampment was responsible for the recent E. coli outbreak in the Norman Public Water Supply are not true.
On May 7, the City of Norman issued a boil notice for residents of northeast Norman who use the Norman Public Water supply, stating that there was E. coli in the water. Over the weekend, some residents started claiming in Facebook comments and posts that the outbreak was directly caused by a homeless encampment near Lake Thunderbird.
