The Colorado town's salmonella-stricken tap water is being treated with concentrated chlorine and may not be clean for weeks.

This isolated, agricultural crossroads began to flush its water system this morning with concentrated chlorine in an effort to drive out the salmonella that is believed to have sickened more than 200 people.
