SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — In a press conference Friday evening, officials from Sandy City clarified that an estimated 600 homes' water systems were contaminated with lead and copper.
The city said the contamination was due to elevated levels of fluoride in the water from a pump that malfunctioned after a power outage last week.
The areas estimated to be affected by the contamination were homes between 10600 South to 11400 South and 2000 East to 700 East.
Officials estimated this area consisted of about 600 homes.
