Eagle Mountain residents concerned about changes to tap water, but city insists it's not connected to sickness
"Pets dying, mainly fish, the water wasting weird — salty, thick, oily, smelling like a pool," Bonnie said.
Bonnie says she and her daughter have had an adverse reaction to the water when showering and bathing. She also says about two weeks ago, around the time the city changed water sources, her son got sick with a stomach bug she doesn't believe was the stomach flu. "We have four out of five people with sour/unsettled stomachs in our house including a dog that threw up that normally doesn't," one resident wrote on Facebook."We drink from the filtered fridge water. The one that doesn't have any issues drinks only bottled water and has been completely fine."
"Our testing is showing that the water is safe — there's nothing wrong with it, and as a result, any conceptions that our water may be connected to that are misguided," said city spokesperson Tyler Maffitt.
