The city of Keystone dealt with a brief scare last week when water pumped from the White House Resort tested positive for E. coli.
On Friday, July 29, Keystone received a complaint about a “sewer smell” outside the White House Resort on Swanzey Street.
On Monday, Aug. 1, city finance officer Vanessa Row was in the area when she saw a trickle of water running across the free city parking lot and noted the awful smell. Durst Enterprises, Inc., the owner of the White House, was contacted and city officials were told the recent heavy rains had flooded the basement of the building and water was being pump out by the sump pump.
As public works director Jerry Przybylski was gone, the city waited until Tuesday, Aug. 2, for maintenance staff member Valerie Johnson to test the foul-smelling water.
