SPRINGVILLE, Utah (ABC4 News) – The city of Springville is issuing a water boil advisory for portions of the City.

According to a press release issued by the city, one of their water tanks was found vandalized Friday morning, and golf balls have been identified in the tank. As a result, the City is taking this incident seriously and issuing a boil advisory.

The city said all water is disinfected with chlorine as it enters the tank, so the degree of contamination appears to be minimal.

The city issued the following statement:

We advise you to use bottled water, if possible. If using your City-provided drinking water, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to use for cooking, drinking, or cleaning food contact equipment.

Water sample test results have been taken and should be available on Saturday, April 4, 2020, in the afternoon and those results will determine whether the boil advisory can be lifted, or additional precautions should be taken.

The City will update you as we learn more. Thank you for your cooperation. For more information, please call (801) 489-2700.
