The boil advisory was issued on Friday because of a damaged water line. It affects the area east of Droubay Road, west of Canyon Overlook Drive, north of Skyline Drive, and those on 270 South.
 
Tooele City announced their advisory saying they believe they have the impact isolated and are taking precautions to ensure water quality.
 
In the meantime, they advise boiling any water before drinking and cooking until further notice.
 

Guidelines for boiling water

Tooele City says in their Water Boil Advisory that if you live in the affected area, do not drink the water without boiling it first.

Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for three minutes, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water.

Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

Springville issues boil advisory after water tanks vandalized

[ad_1]

SPRINGVILLE — A boil advisory was issued on Friday for most of western Springville after one of the city’s water tanks was vandalized and found with golf balls inside.

According to city officials, it appears any contamination was minimal since all water is disinfected with chlorine.

If possible, residents are asked to use bottled water. However, if residents want to drink tap water, they should boil it for at least one minute before drinking, cooking or cleaning food with it.

The issue was discovered Friday morning and the tank was isolated soon after.

For part of the city, the water is still safe to drink, officials said.

Test results from the water samples taken Friday are expected to be available on Saturday afternoon.

Anyone with information on the vandalism is asked to contact Springville police at 801-489-9421.
