Utah County Health Department warns against drinking or playing in secondary irrigation water after several residents hospitalized with E. coli
The health department announced Friday that there have been eight cases of E. coli reported in the last two weeks. Two of the cases have been confirmed as E. coli, and at least five of the individuals were hospitalized because their symptoms were so severe.The county said epidemiologists are investigating the source of the infection, but early indications point to the individuals using irrigation water for drinking or playing.
The health department's announcement states that"pressurized irrigation water" is not treated and can contain harmful bacteria. And although it's a lot of fun, the health department advises residents against using such secondary water for play —"such as slip- and-slides, inflatable bounce houses, kiddie pools, sprinklers, etc."
