Springville has gone months without access to clean water after the Tule River floods in March. Now, residents are furious with the area’s water provider, Del Oro Water, for charging them higher rates when they had no water and when it was contaminated.  In an emergency town hall meeting July 28, Del Oro representatives faced a packed house of angry residents demanding answers at the Springville Veterans Memorial Building. Some people stormed out of the meeting before it ended and others were in disbelief and frustrated with Del Oro official’s responses. The crowd lost control for a moment once a Del Oro spokesperson said there’ll be no access to water until October. Residents were also told there’d be more water now if people conserved.
