Plant Break-In Prompts Water Alert In Volusia

The water warning affects more than 4,200 people in DeBary,the southern end of Orange City and in some unincorporated areas.

Investigators said intruders broke through a security fence at the Glen Abbey Water Plant and removed a ladder access gate at one of the water storage tanks and a screen from another tank.

Authorities believe that the break-in happened over the weekend but officials did not announce the incident until late Monday night. The Volusia County Health Department is testing the water but are not sure if any water tampering took place.

The water will reportedly be tested for toxicity, pesticides, cyanide, and other elements, according to a report.

Tests on the water should be completed in a few days.

Concerned customers can call an information line at (386) 574-0598.
