Price River Improvement District has been keeping citizens updated about the water situation via their Facebook page.

This morning Jeff Richen, District Manager posted:
“District crews have continued working through the night on the leak. Trench boxes were set, but a cave in of the high side crashed them out of alignment resulting in starting over. Boxes were pulled. Debris removed. Boxes are nearly set but condition are not improving. Excavator company expressed concern about safety. At this time we’ll need input from UDOT. We may still be at this for two days.”

Around 10:00 am another post was shared via PRWID Facebook page:
“The right hand, southbound lane on highway 6, will be closed to bring in 2 times the amount of equipment that we currently have on site. We are coordinating with Carbon County Emergency Management, Carbon County, Price City, Helper City. We plant to get locations set up so there will be a fresh water station for customers to get water. We will notify everyone when and where those will be located.”

There have been water stations set up for residents that need water. Price City has generously offered water to those who need it. Individuals can take 5-gallon jugs or containers to Pioneer Park located at 100 East 550 North and fill them there. In addition, for owners of livestock who wish to fill tanks, they can go to Price City Domes located at 432 West 600 South and fill there, they have a 2-inch line hookup. (Between the hours of 7:00 am and 4:00 pm) PRWID has a water haul station in Wellington at 5382 East Washer Plant Road for larger users.

Castle Country Radio will keep the community informed as we receive official information and updates.
