Public health officials have issued a drinking water warning to Jurupa Valley residents after a positive case of E. Coli was discovered at a local water source.
The positive test sample of the fecal indicator was found on Wednesday, according to the Jurupa Community Services District. Authorities say that the sample was found before disinfection took place and it was subsequently removed from the water system. They also said that the sample was not found in the distribution system nor was it discovered in the treatment system, but rather in a contained water source.
Areas that fall under the warning can be found here. Despite the warning, residents were informed that bathing and washing are safe as long as no water is swallowed. Those with weakened immune systems were advised against using the water in any capacity. More than 1,000 cases of bottled water were distributed on Friday afternoon.
