There have been no new E. coli cases or hospitalizations in Lehi after several reports last month. But Lehi residents are being told to exercise caution if they choose to use irrigation water.
The update said the last irrigation water exposure related to an E. coli case was on Aug. 4.
"Even with the treatment, the water will not reach the standard of culinary drinking water," the city said. The state health department warned that E. coli can stick around in your yard even after the sprinklers are off. "We've kind of had this attitude about this water that maybe it's always been safe and we want to get back to a place where it's safe, but the reality is that pressurized irrigation water anywhere in the state has never really been safe for drinking or playing in," she said.
