Montana Resources is offering free bottled water on Thursday to Butte residents in response to possible groundwater contamination.

Bottled water will be available for pick-up at the Montana Resources headquarters parking lot at 600 Shields Ave.

Two truckloads of bottled water are expected to arrive by mid-morning.

The mining company reported that possible processed water from the plant may have gotten into the groundwater on Wednesday afternoon, and residents living south of Front Street should not drink tap water.
