HomeMy WebLinkAboutDDW-2024-013960DRINKING WATER CONCERN RESOLVED Snowbasin Resort Water System BOIL ORDER LIFTED Snowbasin Resort Water System was notified by our laboratory on October 30th, 2024, that samples taken within the distribution system came back E. coli positive. We took repeat samples on October 31st, 2024, and some of those samples came back total coliform positive and E. coli absent. After we were notified, we reached out to the state and put a boil order in place. A thorough assessment of the system has been conducted resulting in plumbing changes, equipment removal/replacement, and chlorinating/flushing the system. On November 19th and 20th, 2024, we took repeat samples at numerous locations throughout the system all of which came back absent for both total coliform and E. Coli. We take the health and the quality of our drinking water very seriously and will continue to monitor and maintain our system to the highest standards including increased sampling for bacteria, on-going assessment/maintenance, and continued training for our staff. Contact: Ryan Woolsey 801-620-1019 rwoolsey@snowbasin.com Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly. You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. Flush pipes/faucets first. To flush the plumbing, run all cold water faucets on full for at least 5 minutes each. For buildings with multiple levels, start at the top level. If the water is discolored, continue to run it from the tap until it is clear. Ice and automatic ice makers: Wash and sanitize ice trays. For an icemaker, dump existing ice and flush the water feed lines by making and discarding at least three batches of ice cubes. Wipe down the ice bin with a disinfectant. Hot water heaters, water coolers, in line filters, and other appliances with a water connection or water tanks (such as kitchen appliances, humidifiers, swamp coolers): Run enough water to completely replace at least one full volume of all lines and tanks. Follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer. Water softeners: Run through a regeneration cycle. Follow any other instructions from the appliance manufacturer. Replace other water filters (fridge filters etc.), as they are disposable and may be contaminated. This applies especially to carbon filters and others that are near the end of their life.
