The tap water in Bountiful is green, but it’s safe to drink. The green-tinted water comes from snowmelt running over green vegetation before it gets to the treatment plant, but the plant is not equipped to remove the color. Due to the extreme drought, the city is using the snowmelt and is sparing the aquifers at present. The green water is free of bacteria and contaminants. The treatment facility is serving about half of Bountiful, so only half of the community gets this special spring treat.
