The other area affected by an advisory is Highland Glen Pond in Highland.Despite the issuance of a health advisory by the Utah County Health Department, families are swimming at their own risk. The advisory, prompted by the detection of E. coli contamination, underscores the need for caution. The absence of visible warnings has led to a concerning lack of awareness about the health risks associated with swimming in contaminated waters.

Efforts are underway to deploy more noticeable and informative signs in strategic locations, ensuring that families are fully aware of the potential dangers before engaging in water-related activities.
