SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The National Guard will hand out free water at 10 locations to residents who can't drink tap water in the Salem, Oregon, area contaminated by an algae bloom, and state law enforcement authorities are looking into claims of price gouging after officials extended an emergency drinking water advisory.

Gov. Kate Brown's office said Thursday the water will be distributed in the state's capital and Stayton because of a problem at Detroit Lake, which feeds into the city's water source.
