PANGUITCH — A boil order has been issued for residents in Panguitch City Sunday after the water supply was found to be contaminated, officials said.
Residents should not drink water without boiling it first, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office announced in a Facebook post.
Officials urge residents to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation until further notice.
On Saturday, residents were asked not to drink or use any culinary water after high potential contamination levels were detected in the city’s water supply.
“These bacteria can make you sick, and are a particular concern for people with weakened immune systems,” the post read.
Officials said they anticipate to resolve the problem with the water supply within one week.
For more information, residents can contact the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office at 435-676-2678.
For general guidelines on decreasing the risk of infection, residents can call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

WASHINGTON — DC Water has lifted the boil water advisory that was in effect for parts of Northeast D.C.
The company said tests confirm the drinking water is safe and there is no contamination in the water system.
The District announced that all pools except Turkey Thicket will open on time on Sunday.
All spray parks will be activated on time except for Turkey Thicket and Riggs-LaSalle, which will be activated at noon, the city said in a news release.
DC Water recommends that if you were in the affected area, you should run your cold water taps for 10 minutes if you live in the affected area and did not use your water at all during the advisory.
The boil advisory was issued on Friday morning as a precautionary measure after a malfunction at a pumping station led to an unexpected drop in water pressure that could have allowed contaminants to get into the water.
The issue that led to the boil advisory started at about 8:30 p.m. Thursday, when an open valve at the Bryant Street Pumping Station, near Howard University, resulted in a loss of pressure in parts of its distribution system for about an hour, the company said in a news release.
“And so we … do feel like that we did the right thing and we did everything that was possible and within our power.” The D.C. Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency issued the boil-water advisory shortly after 4:30 a.m. Friday after receiving the go-ahead from DC Water, said Rodriquez, the agency’s director.
When asked by reporters at the news conference on Friday why it took nearly eight hours from the time the valve issue was fixed to alert D.C. residents, Gadis said it took time for workers to understand and pinpoint the problem.
“But we took every precautionary measure that we could.” WTOP’s Jack Moore, and Neal Augenstein contributed to this report.

“We’re going to have a thorough review of that to be sure we have an effective communications strategy so that in the event anything like this happens again … people are notified more quickly.” D.C. Council member Brianne Nadeau of Ward 1 said pregnant women and mothers with babies were among constituents who complained that they were unaware of the boil water advisory Friday morning.
“We’re always so quick to put things out on Twitter or Facebook, but that certainly doesn’t reach everybody,” she said.
“We began sharing updates and alerts well before dawn with the hope that it would reach as many people as possible and we’re sorry if it did not reach some of those individuals,” he said.
Nadeau said DC Water should have contact information for each and every one of its customers.
Residents rushed to the DC Water website and customer service line Friday, which ended up overwhelming the system.
“For that, I apologize.
And I promise we’ll do better.” The utility said it’s looking at other methods that can be used to alert customers of any potential safety risks to water.
“We want to review the communications,” Wells said.

DC Water Warns Thousands of Contamination Risk Tens of thousands of people were told to boil their tap water on Friday due possible contamination after an issue at a pumping station.
About 7,000 DC Water customers were under a boil advisory into Sunday after water tested positive for contaminants.
A boil water advisory that affected thousands of people in D.C. Friday and Saturday has been lifted completely, DC Water says.
About 7,000 DC Water customers in Northeast were the last to get the all-clear.
Otherwise, water use can return to normal.
Water taken from pipes servicing those neighborhoods initially tested positive for coliform bacteria.
Further tests confirmed the water was safe leading up to the third day of the boil water advisory, which was initially put into place Friday.
DC Water said it dropped the boil water advisory for all of the other previously affected neighborhoods because all of the tests in those areas came back negative.
Some residents were told their water was safe later on Friday, while many residents of Northwest and Northeast woke up Saturday unable to drink water straight from the tap.
DC Water CEO David Gadis apologized Saturday that the DC Water website went down as residents logged on Friday in search of more information about the boil advisory.

WASHINGTON — The boil water advisory that was issued on Thursday evening has been lifted, but some in the DC community criticized DC Water’s effectiveness in communicating the alert with residents.
The drop in pressure at the Bryant Street station happened on Thursday evening.
According to Gadis, by the time that officials had done an investigation into the incident and decided that a boil water advisory should be issued, it was already past midnight.
The initial pressure drop was caused by a valve that was left open at the Bryant Street Pumping Station.
Anytime that water pressure drops, it is possible for harmful bacteria to get into the system.
“Now that the alert is over, I want to assure everyone that drinking water is safe in our city and it is safe to drink as well.” Gadis said.
“In fact, all this talking is making me thirsty.” Gadis did not drink any water after issuing this statement.

Trenton Municipal Utilities has extended the boil advisory issued Friday evening due to a positive coliform sample.
Coliform bacteria are a commonly used indicator of the sanitary quality of foods and water.
While coliforms themselves do not normally cause serious illness, they are easy to culture, and their presence is used to indicate that other organisms may be present.
The advisory affects customers on Lulu street between 21st and 23rd streets as well as those on East 21st Street, between Chicago and Lulu.
and continues until 4:35 Monday morning.

The D.C.
Boil Water Advisory has been lifted for all customers, officials announced Sunday morning.
The advisory ended after being issued Friday morning because D.C. Water detected coliform bacteria that was in the water.
Officials says open valve Thursday at the Bryant Street Pumping Station led to loss of pressure that caused the contamination resulting in the Boil Water Advisory.
“Protecting the health and safety of our customers is paramount in providing reliable water service to the District of Columbia,” David Gadis, General Manager and CEO of D.C. Water said in a press release.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused, but we will always put our customers’ safety first during these types of events.” Residents in the area affected by the advisory should run their cold water taps for 10 minutes if they did not use the water during the last few days.
Below is initial map D.C. Water released of the initial affected areas on Friday.
Close to 7,000 residents were still being impacted by the advisory Saturday night.
D.C. Water will hold a press conference Sunday to provide more information on the incident.

Water will be reduced or interrupted for several hours in parts of Richfield as crews make repairs to a water main break Wednesday night.
Service will be affected in the Glencairn, Prairie Vista and Richfield Woods subdivisions while repairs are made to the break on Wheatley Road, according to Cleveland Water Department.

A boil water advisory for the city of Rochester Hills is still in effect for the area north of Tienken Road and west of Livernois Road.
The precautionary actions are being taken due to the loss of water pressure in the water distribution system on Monday, July 9, the city reported in a 10:30 a.m. Wednesday post on its Facebook page, an update to the Monday morning post announcing the boil water alert.
“Tests were conducted at three locations,” the city posted.
“The city will continue to follow the protocol recommended by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
We will issue another update within the next 48 hours.” Residents in the specified area are being asked to bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food.
It is not necessary to use boiled or bottled water for other household purposes, such as showering, laundry or bathing.
The results from one such analysis stated that one water sample was unsatisfactory.
The boil water advisory will remain in effect until results from the second set of testing confirm that no contamination exists.
