Boil water advisory lifted, Draper City says

Update:

DRAPER, Utah (ABC4) — The water boil order has been lifted, according to Draper City.

“The Division of Drinking water has lifted the boil advisory issued on June 6, 2025 and the drinking water system has returned to normal service,” a press release from Draper City states. “After extensive cleaning and flushing of the area of concern, we collected 20 follow-up samples throughout the potentially affected area on June 5, 2025. All samples were absent of coliform and E. coli bacteria.”

Here’s what to do next, according to the city:

Flush household pipes/faucets first.

• To flush your plumbing, run all your cold water faucets on full for at least 15 minutes each. (Hot water instructions follow below)
• For a residence with multiple levels, start at the top of the house.
• If your service connection is long or complex (like in an apartment building), consider flushing for a longer period. Your building superintendent or landlord should be able to advise you on longer flushing times.
• 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.

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.

You may also consider:

• Replace pre-filters, on Reverse Osmosis Machines (check your owner’s manual).
• 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.

Other:

• Clean and sanitize all pet bowls.

If you manage spaces as a landlord, management company, or corporation, 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,” Draper City said.

No further information is available.

Original Story:

DRAPER, Utah (ABC4) — The water boil order issued yesterday, June 5, for WaterPro customers in Draper remains in place, according to Draper City on social media.

The City said that water testing results are expected to be in around 4 p.m. today, June 6.

The Salt Lake County Health Department issued a boil water advisory for some WaterPro customers in Draper on Thursday around 6 p.m. WaterPro notified affected customers that there was potential contamination to the drinking water system, outlined in the map below. As a precaution, the Utah Division of Drinking Water issued a boil order.

WaterPro is one of two water utilities that serves Draper City, and customers served by the Draper City water company are not affected.

According to WaterPro, the contamination came from a cross-connection between secondary and culinary water systems, allowing untreated water to enter the drinking water system. WaterPro is reportedly testing to determine bacteria levels in the water supply, and so far, chlorine levels observed have been normal.
