Two Massachusetts towns have issued boil water advisories to residents after E. coli was found during routine water testing. North Attleboro and Plainville, which share a water system and treatment facility, each issued the order. The bacteria was found in samples collected Wednesday. Officials warn that any water used for cooking or food preparation, drinking, brushing teeth and washing dishes should be boiled for at least one minute before use. Any ice, beverages or uncooked food made using water from either town's public system on or after Wednesday should be thrown out.
