- DRINKING WATER ORDER Junction Town BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING What happened? On July 22, 2026, heavy rainfall caused runoff from the Cottonwood burn scar, resulting in noticeably discolored water coming out of the spring.. What is being done? Water samples are being collected to determine if the water meets drinking water standards. Bottled water is available for residents at the Junction Firehouse, located at 105 North 200 West, Junction, UT 84740. What should the consumer do? DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems. The symptoms above are not caused only by organisms in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice. People at increased risk should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. For more information, please contact Teresa Pearson at 435-616-2671 junction.town@yahoo.com. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800) 426-4791 Division website: drinkingwater.utah.gov. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by Junction Town Water System ID#: UTAH 16001. Date distributed: 07/22/2026
