A routine inspection at Osan Air Base in South Korea has led to the closure of the base exchange food court after potential E. coli contamination was detected in a facility water line, according to Stars and Stripes. The base’s bioenvironmental engineering team conducted the test on Tuesday, with results confirming the presence of E. coli on Wednesday.

In response to the contamination, consumers were advised to boil or avoid using the water from building 965 for drinking, showering, bathing, and washing clothes. At present, it’s believed that no other buildings on the base are affected by the contamination.
