MADISON - Unusually high levels of uranium found in the well water of two schools has forced town officials to shut off the bubblers and provide students with bottled water while they investigate.

School officials said they have been told the contamination is not harmful.

"The state toxicologist said it shouldn't be a great concern, it's a non-problem as far as they are concerned," board of education Chairman Robert Hale said.

Hale said the Robert H. Brown Middle School and Kathleen Ryerson Elementary School off Route 79 have been supplied with bottled water fountains, and the schools will stick with bottled water for drinking and cooking until a solution can be found.
