The news of the small Colorado town’s water supply being contaminated with THC turned into little more than a false alarm.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office posted a statement on their Facebook Page, Saturday morning, telling residents the water advisory was canceled immediately after tests came back negative for THC.

The sheriff’s office will conduct a criminal investigation “regarding the tampering and forced entry at Hugo Well #1.”
