PLEASANT GROVE, Utah (ABC4) – Some Pleasant Grove residents may be under a boil water advisory until Saturday as the city continues to work to find the source of the E. Coli bacteria.
On Wednesday, Pleasant Grove City officials issued a boil water advisory after a sample from the Battle Creek zone tested positive for E. Coli bacteria. In a Thursday morning update, the city says it has been working to find the source of the bacteria.
In addition to looking for potential residential cross-connections from the secondary system to the culinary system, Pleasant Grove City says testing was done Wednesday on the city’s water sources to determine if that is the cause of the bacteria. The system has been flushed three times and new samples are expected to be taken Thursday.
“At this time the soonest the boil order could be lifted would be Saturday afternoon,” Pleasant Grove City says. “We need to receive two clean tests in 24 hour increments before the boil order is lifted. If further testing comes back with positive results then the boil order will be extended. We will continue to keep you notified as we get further information.”
