Residents in the Mountain Green area of Morgan County are being advised to boil their water after someone broke and removed the lock on a storage tank.
The Cottonwood Mutual Water Company issued the warning after discovering the breech during a routine inspection on Monday. It’s unknown exactly when the lock was broken; the tank had last been inspected on Feb. 6.
“Until samples can confirm the status of the water quality, you are advised to boil the water before using,” the company stated. Samples were taken on Monday; results are expected Tuesday; confirmation of the results is expected on Wednesday.
