Safe to Resume Routine Water Use Summary Water collected from local Cutler springs has acidic pH levels and is treated with Lime prior to distribution. The treatment system has failed, which increases the likelihood of changes in water quality including the following:  Leaching of heavy metals from infrastructure, including Lead and Copper  Change in Taste, Odor, and Color Utah Division of Drinking Water Staff was notified of a treatment system failure to address acid pH at the Cutler Springs. On Friday March 24th, Division staff collected heavy metal samples within the distribution system. The test results were received Tuesday, March 28th, and indicated no exceedances of drinking water standards. The Do Not Drink Order has been lifted and residents can resume water use.

  Ryan Deering from the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) stated the lowest PH level of 6.38 was near the North Fork Tank, tests taken lower in the system were at PH 7 level.   Typically, water companies are required to maintain a level of 6.5 to 8.5.   If you have a reverse osmosis system combined with a carbon filter, or a filter pitcher of water, you can safely drink the water once you check your system’s water filter micron size rating that is available from the manufacturer to determine if your filter is sufficient.     Additional information concerning water filters can be found on the following website   EWG Tap Water Database | Water Filters The DDW stated the water is safe to do dishes, take baths, and do laundry.   Additional testing has been completed to determine if the PH level has resulted in lead traces in the water.   They believe they will have the results as early as Tuesday.    Additionally,  PH level testing will also be conducted by LPC on Tuesday in the South

  DRINKING WATER WARNING Liberty Pipeline Company water has acidic pH DO NOT DRINK WATER What happened? Water collected from local Cutler springs has acidic pH levels and is treated with Lime prior to distribution. The treatment system has failed, which increases the likelihood of changes in water quality including the following: ·          Leaching of heavy metals from infrastructure, including Lead and Copper ·          Change in Taste, Odor, and Color Utah Division of Drinking Water Staff was notified on Thursday March 23 rd , 2023 that the treatment system which treats the Cutler Springs has failed. The Cutler Springs have historically had low pH and without treatment, the change in pH can disrupt the chemical stability of the distribution system, leading to leaching of heavy metals posing health risks to those who consume the drinking water.   What is being done? This public notice is being issued to make consumers aware of the risks associated with consuming water with an acidic

 A PH water level between 6.5 and 8.5 is typically required for culinary water.  The state is completing tests today to determine if the North Fork tank is maintaining these levels.  PH levels can impact homes that have Lead or Copper piping.  Most Lead piping was banned in Utah in 1986.  LPC does not have Lead or Copper piping in any of their main lines.  As soon as the tests are complete you will be updated on the status.  This testing is the result of the North Fork tank issues recently experienced.

 Update:  The issue has been resolved.   The North Fork tank is draining rapidly due to a leak.  Repair crews are working to isolate the leak.  Until further notice, please limit your water use.
