Water emergencies appear to be occurring more often these days, leaving citizens scrambling to find safe drinking water when public supplies become contaminated.
The latest case is still ongoing and concerns the public water supplies of Nibley City, Utah. On April 23, occupants of the small town were ordered not to drink the water after residents had noticed it had a foul odor and contacted the city.
It was suspected that the contamination came from a recent diesel spill near a spring that supplies the city with its drinking water. Tests over the next few days confirmed the presence of diesel fuel in the water, and the system has been repeatedly flushed since then.
However, as of April 27, the city remains under a “Do-not-Drink” order.
