MIDWAY — The boil order issued for Soldier Hollow Complex was lifted Saturday after water test results showed no sign of E. coli contamination, officials said.
The Charleston Water Conservancy District issued the boil order a few days prior on Thursday after the water supply tested positive for E. coli Wednesday. A construction accident contaminated the water after a pipe broke Tuesday, but the contamination wasn't discovered until the next day, according to Utah's Department of Environmental Quality.
Since the contamination wasn't detected for more than 24 hours, officials are asking those who visited the complex to watch for signs of E. coli infection.
The complex includes Soldier Hollow Golf Course, Soldier Hollow Grill and the Soldier Hollow Olympic Venue. Anyone who visited those locations between 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and 6 p.m. Wednesday should monitor their health for possible infection.
The bacteria E. coli indicates that the water might be contaminated with human or animal waste and can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches and other symptoms.
