| Melting Snow, Stormwater Gets Into Aurora Water
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) ― Untreated stormwater got into a 60-inch pipeline that delivers clean water to Aurora Water customers after a relief valve released pressure. Meghan Hughes said the estimated 325 gallons of untreated water likely was diluted by the hundreds of thousands of gallons in the pipe, but several customers called complaining about the water's taste and odor. About 3,200 customers were affected in a 2-square-mile area late Tuesday and early Wednesday. About nine customers who called the public utility had the pipes flushed in their homes, and hydrants were opened to flush the pipeline. Higher than normal snowmelt raised the water level in the drain pipe, that also houses the water supply pipeline. (© MMVII CBS Television Stations, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Team Party Crash: 'Radar' Third Issue Party
Nick Denton saunters up with L.A. blogger Mickey Kaus, who, in his long trench coat, looks like he desperately wants to be somebody's Deep Throat. The men start talking about Michael Kinsley and our eyes glaze over. Once they start serious discussion of whether Stuff magazine was "darker" under Greg Gutfeld's reign, we politely excuse ourselves. Also, we feel a bit weird reporting with Denton standing right there. It's a little like how we imagine it would feel to have our parents watching us have sex -- if Denton had any idea who we were. His hair is real. His love is not. With his love of karaoke and his knack for triple-fisting, we can see why NYT metro hottie Nick Confessore is a hit at these kinds of parties. Krucoff: "Si? Chuck? Let's hug it out." We don't know at what point the party turns into a blogger clusterfuck, but we're pretty sure it's around the time Andrew Krucoff shows up, minus his trusty box of "Save Krucoff" buttons.
Woman's stolen identity not easily restored
Her alleged copycat was finally apprehended in Riverside and brought to Mendocino County this week, but the woman was arrested and booked under Stornetta's maiden name, Siragusa, leaving Stornetta now with a criminal record to undo.
After she was booked, Elvia Avila Gomez admitted she's not really Theresa Siragusa, but it will take a judge's order to clear Stornetta's name from the jail's database.
Gomez, 61, remained in jail on $50,000 bail, listed as Siragusa. The district attorney has charged her with identity theft-related charges and a charge of illegally entering the United States.
Since 2004, Gomez allegedly used Stornetta's identity to obtain credit cards, buy a car, furniture and get $20,000 in medical care following a car accident. She also used it to get a job, leaving Stornetta to deal with the IRS, which sought back taxes from her.
Foe of pipeline finds plot in lost notebook Notes: 'Ignore negative ...
With several witnesses looking on, including one with a digital camera, Southern Nevada Water Authority staff member Andy Belanger removed the rubber band from the padded notebook and carefully removed its contents. One by one, each document, map and handwritten note was run through a photocopier and returned to its place in the notebook. When a page was copied incorrectly, the duplicate was shown to the witnesses so they could see what it was before it was torn in half and thrown away. The process took more than 15 minutes and was executed with the care of election workers or crime scene investigators. Watching from the doorway of the copy room, a water authority official couldn't help but laugh. "It's not often we have a whodunit," he said. .
