HUNTSVILLE, Utah — Huntsville residents are asked to conserve water after officials found a leak late Thursday night, leaving the city with only 10 hours remaining. A water-filling station has been set up in Eden.
In a letter from Huntsville Mayor Richard Sorensen, a significant leak has been determined to have caused their 1,000,000-gallon water storage tank be only hold 6 percent of the remaining water at 60,500 gallons as of Friday morning at 9 a.m.
Thursday at 5:00 p.m., the storage tank was down to 10 percent capacity from 15 percent in 24 hours. At this time it's believed that multiple smaller leaks are the cause, though the incident remains under investigation.
