SPOKANE VALLEY — The Trentwood Irrigation District says water samples have tested clean of harmful bacteria or other substances. The Spokane Valley district said Wednesday the water is safe to drink.
KHQ reported the brown color Tuesday was caused by dirt falling into a well. While not pleasant, it’s not harmful.
The district had advised 1,600 customers to boil drinking water until the health tests came in.
Three Spokane Valley schools — East Valley High School, East Valley Middle School and Trentwood Elementary — sent students home Tuesday because of brown water in drinking fountains.
The East Valley School District says schools reopened Wednesday.
