Navy Carrier's Water No Longer Testing Positive for E. Coli

PORTSMOUTH, Va. -- The drinking water on board a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier at a Virginia shipyard is no longer testing positive for E. coli or coliform bacteria.

The Virginian-Pilot reports a routine water test at a Portsmouth shipyard Thursday found the contaminants on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). The Eisenhower was at the shipyard for maintenance work.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard spokeswoman Anna Taylor said Friday that the Navy is awaiting results from additional water samples before giving the all-clear.
