More Meth-Contaminated Apartments Discovered In Longmont

LONGMONT, CO - Cloverbasin Village Apartments have taken another hit. Just five months after units in two buildings tested positive for methamphetamine contamination, another - Unit 108 in Building 15 - has joined the list.

The air intake system for vertically-stacked units 108, 208, and 308 tested positive as well, according to Chana Gouessetis, communication manager for Boulder County Public Health, reported the Longmont Times-Call.

In Colorado, the threshold for contamination is a test result of more than 0.5 micrograms of meth residue per 100 square-centimeters. Two years ago, nine units in Cloverbasin's Building 5 also tested positive. In May, after this year's first round of positive readings, tenants told the Times-Call that they were certain that if more units were tested, more contamination would be found.

Local police posted warning signs on the affected units and say they are concerned about the continued prevalence of meth use in the complex.
