Agency: Poultry not likely E. coli source

The Oklahoma Department of Health found harmful E. coli strains in three of 17 groundwater wells near Locust Grove that contained the bacteria, but the contamination likely did not come from chickens, the agency reported Wednesday. The findings come a month after Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson said chicken farms near the town polluted a restaurant’s well and caused an E. coli outbreak last summer.
