The Central Utah Counseling Center in Ephraim will reopen tomorrow after a carbon monoxide leak sent at least 17 people to the hospital.
EPHRAIM — A mental health clinic will reopen on Thursday after a carbon monoxide leak sent at least 17 people to the hospital.
Two employees were in such bad shape that they were rushed to a local hospital and then to Utah Valley Hospital, where many of the staff have since received hyperbaric chamber treatments. One worker received six treatments, and some have lingering effects. Britany Havens and her four kids had been noticing headaches after therapy appointments for a couple of months now, with more serious symptoms in the past two weeks.
"It really could've been quite tragic because they weren't correlating their symptoms with the carbon monoxide that was filling their rooms," Strait said. The building, which was constructed in 1998, has four furnaces. One was replaced last year, while the other three were original, Strait said.Strait said a heating and air conditioning company did a visual inspection in November and reported no issues with the furnaces.
