GARDEN CITY, Utah. July 13, 2018. The second test of the water in Sweetwater came out clean and safe so the boil water advisory is now lifted.
The Bear Lake Water Company has had decades of providing safe and clean water and has been given excellent ratings for professionalism and safety. The Sweetwater water system was compromised last week, but the water company moved quickly to fix the problem. They have isolated the problem to one house where the homeowner bypassed the stop and waste valve in the meter and had no backflow protection. Frank Corgiat, president of the Bear Lake Water Company, said that they flushed the system with chlorine and then did at least three tests for purity. It takes 24 hours to do the test according to State Water Standards.
Corgiat said that in 20 years this is the first problem the system has had. In the past, the water company has exceeded all standards. All notification and the actual response to this was done according to the State regulations. In addition, the Rich Civic Times also kept homeowners informed. All homeowners should follow the regulations for stop and waste valves.
