WILMINGTON, Mass. — Schools were closed, restaurants are serving bottled water and public water fountains were covered Friday in one Massachusetts town after E. coli bacteria was detected in the water supply.

The bacteria was found in routine testing of Wilmington's Hillside storage tank on Sept. 6. E. coli was also found in one of three additional samples collected the next day.

Wilmington officials aren't sure yet where the contamination came from. The town gets some of its water locally and some from the MWRA.
