Overview
- City crews discovered mud and sediment inside a Tremonton pumphouse after heavy rain and flooding, prompting officials to take the pumphouse offline.
- As a precaution the city issued a boil-water advisory covering drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, and washing dishes and clothes.
- Officials flushed the distribution network through fire hydrants, tested chlorine residuals across the system, and collected eight bacteriological samples for lab analysis.
- Residents are instructed to boil drinking water for one minute, discard pet water and refrigerator ice, run taps used for drinking or bathing for three to five minutes, and report any taste, odor, or discoloration.
- The advisory remains in effect while the city awaits laboratory results that will confirm whether bacteria such as E. coli are present and whether normal use can resume.
