FARMINGTON, Utah (AP) — Davis County authorities are telling residents that the newly green water of Farmington Pond is not toxic, but instead may be the result of a prank.
Police say a large amount of food dye was dumped into the pond, making the water turn a bright green color. The discovery was made Sunday.
The sheriff's office reported that the Environmental Health Department has tested the water and determined that it is non-toxic and does not pose a threat to the public.
The pond is expected to stay green for a few days.
The incident is being investigated as a prank.
