DRINKING WATER CONCERN RESOLVED

 

Huntsville Town Culinary Water System

 

BOIL ORDER LIFTED

 

Huntsville Town experienced a leak in its main line from the treatment plant to the reservoir.  It was discovered and repaired.  The system has been sanitized, flushed, and tested per Utah Division of Drinking Water approved procedures. The system is back to normal operations, and boiling is no longer required. For additional information contact Ronald Gault, rjgault@msn.com (801) 389-2458.

 

Flush household pipes/faucets first.

  • To flush your plumbing, run all your cold-water faucets on full for at least 5 minutes each.
  • For a residence with multiple levels, start at the top of the house.
  • If your service connection is long or complex (like in an apartment building) consider flushing for a longer period. Your building superintendent or landlord should be able to advise you on longer flushing times.
  • If the water is discolored, continue to run it from the tap until it is clear.

Ice and automatic ice makers:

  • Wash and sanitize ice trays.
  • For an icemaker, dump existing ice and flush the water feed lines by making and discarding at least three batches of ice cubes.
  • Wipe down the ice bin with a disinfectant.

Hot water heaters, water coolers, in line filters, and other appliances with a water connection or water tanks (such as kitchen appliances, humidifiers, swamp coolers):

  • Run enough water to completely replace at least one full volume of all lines and tanks.
  • Follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer.

Water softeners:

  • Run through a regeneration cycle.
  • Follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) units: Replace pre-filters, check owner's manual.

Replace other water filters (fridge filters etc.), as they are disposable and may be contaminated. This applies especially to carbon filters and others that are near the end of their life.

Other:

Clean and sanitize all pet bowls.
