Federal authorities say reports that a water pump failure in Springfield was the result of hacking aren't true.

Department of Homeland Security spokesman Chris Ortman says initial reports were based on raw and unconfirmed data. In a statement Tuesday, he says detailed analysis by DHS and the FBI found no evidence of a cyber intrusion or that there was any malicious activity.

Don Craven is a trustee for the Curran-Gardner Township Public Water District outside of Illinois' capital city. He has said the water pump burned out earlier this month and that the water district has multiple pumps. He says there was never a break in service to its 2,200 rural customers.

Federal officials say the analysis of the incident is ongoing and relevant information will be released when available.
