Original Content: Nibley City residents were ordered to stop using culinary water Wednesday afternoon. City officials said diesel fuel was discovered in the city’s spring after a resident reported the smell of fuel in the water. The water should not be used for any purpose, including eating, bathing, cooking or cleaning. Boiling the water will not remove the contaminants. Workers are currently flushing the system.
