DRINKING WATER CONCERN RESOLVED
Elk Ridge Estates
BOIL ORDER LIFTED
On Nov. 22 2024 Elk ridge Estates was informed by the SUU Water lab that we had a positive test for E-coli in our water system in the following days we re-sampled the system and confirmed
that it was present at that time we dosed the system with chlorine. We then needed to continue sampling the residual chlorine in the system until it had diluted to a non-traceable amount.
Once we had confirmed that we were able to continue with sampling for bacteria. On 1-6-2025 and 1-7-2025 we pulled a total of 6 samples and had them tested these testes came back with
a negative reading of any bacteria present.
