Treated tap water restored to 4 Iowa cities
CRESTON, Iowa — People in four Iowa cities have been told they can once again safely drink water from their taps.
The Southern Iowa Rural Water Association says the treatment system is back up and running with new filtration membranes.
Three cities given an all-clear Monday were Afton, Diagonal and Lenox.
Creston was cleared Sunday.
The advisory remains in effect for people in rural areas around Creston and in several counties served by the association.
A membrane filtration system failure at the Twelve Mile Water Plant in Creston had left association customers without safe tap water since June 1.
People were advised to boil tap water before consumption to avoid pathogens and parasites that could cause illness.
The water was considered safe for bathing and for pets and livestock.

One boil water advisory lifted; two more in effect
A boil water advisory for Pleasant Valley Road in the northern part of the county has been lifted, but citizens in two other areas are still being advised to boil water before drinking it.
"A water main broke on Pleasant Valley Road, so we had to remove a portion of it and replace it," said Roger Ellis, Bartow County assistant water director for engineering and operations.
"The lines in that area are getting old.
They aren’t going to last forever."
Although the Pleasant Valley line is back in operation, two other breaks in the area around Lakeview Drive and Belmont Way in Acworth and Equestrian Way in the Polo Fields subdivision have led the water department to place boil water advisories at least until sometime today.
"Once there is a break in any pipe in the system," Ellis said, "the state mandates a boil water advisory until the line can be replaced and tested for bacteria.
It usually takes 12-24 hours to get the test results back."
Ellis said the chief suspect in the Lakeview Drive break was age and the condition of the pipe, while the Equestrian break may have been due to unauthorized digging in the area.
Ellis said they plan to have problem solved by this morning.

West Jordan residents asked to boil water as a precaution after water line cross
WEST JORDAN, Utah – Residents in the Sienna Vista neighborhood of West Jordan are being asked to boil their drinking water as a precaution after a culinary water line was found to be feeding into an irrigation line.
The boil advisory was sent to about 150 residents around 7000 South and 5600 West.
According to officials with West Jordan, water division staff were called out to investigate a water leak and found a cross connection issue with a culinary water line and an unused, unpressurized secondary irrigation line.
“The Division of Drinking Water advised the city to distribute a precautionary boil advisory,” West Jordan officials wrote.
Water division staff performed a chlorine residual test on the water, which showed that chlorine residual levels were well within the normal range.
Officials said if the levels were low, it would have been a cause for concern because it would indicate that chlorine in the water was fighting bacteria.
West Jordan officials released the following information to residents Tuesday: “The Water Division is waiting for test results and expects to have those back today about 4 p.m.
Because the leak involved culinary water into an unpressurized pipe, and because city staff discovered the problem and took immediate action, it is highly unlikely there is an issue with the water quality.
The safety and integrity of our water system is the top priority for the West Jordan Water Division.

West Jordan issues precautionary water boil advisory after possible cross connection
A resident was filling an empty pipe with culinary water, but the pipe was not pressurized, according to West Jordan Police.
Because it was culinary, and not canal water, it is likely that there is no danger of anyone’s water being contaminated.
"As a precaution, we’ve been asked by the State Division of Water Quality to issue a boiling advisory," the advisory states.
"That means it is advised, but not required, that as a precaution you do not drink the water or use the water during food preparation in your home for at least 48 hours without first boiling the water."
"Please take whatever precautions necessary regarding this unfortunate incident," the advisory states.
According to the news release, West Jordan water officials recommend the following safeguards in light of the boiling advisory: Drinking water: Use boiled or bottled water.
(Water filtering units may not remove all contaminants) Washing produce/produce sprayers: Use only boiled or bottled water to wash produce.
In the news release, West Jordan water officials recommend the following after the boil advisory is lifted: Flush the building’s water lines for at least two minutes Clean faucet screens Clean the water line strainers on mechanical dish washing machines and similar equipment Purge all water-using fixtures and appliances of standing water (ice machines, beverage makers, hot water heaters, etc.)
Clean and sanitize all fixtures, sinks and equipment connected to the waterlines According to police, it is "highly unlikely" that there is any real contamination danger.
While initial tests show that levels are fine, they are still waiting on further testing.
